A recent health advisory warns that not only salty foods like dried fish or instant noodles can harm the kidneys — several everyday items may quietly accelerate kidney damage without people realizing it. Here are five foods to watch out for:

A recent health advisory warns that not only salty foods like dried fish or instant noodles can harm the kidneys &mdash; several everyday items may quietly accelerate kidney damage without people realizing it. Here are five foods to watch out for:

<h3>&nbsp;</h3>

<img alt="" src="backend.arokago.com/media/uploads/2025/09/18/close-up-bread-basket_gBzG9S4.jpg" style="width:100%" />

&nbsp;

<h3>1. Bread and Baked Goods</h3>

Pastries such as donuts, croissants, and other breads often contain baking powder, a type of salt.

- Baking powder hides sodium, forcing the kidneys to work harder to remove excess salt.

- Some breads are also high in phosphorus, which can build up in the kidneys and blood vessels, especially in those with declining kidney function.

Tip: Choose whole-wheat or naturally fermented breads like sourdough.

<h3>&nbsp;</h3>

<img alt="" src="backend.arokago.com/media/uploads/2025/09/18/arrangement-with-delicious-traditional-thai-tea.jpg" style="width:100%" />

&nbsp;

<h3>2. Bubble Tea and Sugary Drinks</h3>

Popular drinks such as bubble tea, sweetened coffee, or blended green tea can contain up to 10&ndash;15 teaspoons of sugar per serving.

- Excess sugar spikes blood glucose, increasing the risk of diabetes &mdash; a major cause of kidney failure.

- High blood sugar damages blood vessels that supply the kidneys, slowly impairing their function.

Tip: Opt for less sugar or unsweetened versions.

<h3>&nbsp;</h3>

<h3>3. White Rice, Noodles, and Refined Carbs</h3>

Refined starches like white rice, noodles, and pasta are staples but can overload the kidneys.

- They raise blood sugar quickly, which can lead to diabetes and kidney decline over time.

- The kidneys must filter extra glucose and waste, adding stress.

Tip: Replace with brown rice, whole grains, or reduce starch intake, especially at dinner.

<h3>&nbsp;</h3>

<img alt="" src="backend.arokago.com/media/uploads/2025/09/18/set-different-sauces-ketchup-mayonnaise-barbecue-soy-chutney-wasabi-adjika-horseradish-aioli-marinara-dark-stone-concrete-background-close-up.jpg" style="width:100%" />

&nbsp;

<h3>4. Sauces and Condiments</h3>

Soy sauce, fish sauce, chili sauce, ketchup, barbecue sauce, and hotpot dipping sauces often contain hidden sodium, sugar, preservatives, MSG, and phosphorus.

- High sodium forces the kidneys to expel excess salt.

- Added sugars and phosphorus increase the risk of diabetes and kidney stress.

Tip: Use low-sodium versions or make your own sauces to cut risks.

<h3>&nbsp;</h3>

<h3>5. Fruits and Juices</h3>

Some fruits &mdash; durian, jackfruit, longan, ripe mango &mdash; are very high in sugar. Juices lack fiber, causing rapid sugar absorption.

- Fructose raises blood sugar and burdens the kidneys.

- People with kidney disease must also limit potassium in fruits to prevent heart rhythm problems.

Tip: Eat moderate amounts of guava, green apples, berries, or pomelo. Choose fresh fruit over juice.

<h3>&nbsp;</h3>

<h3>Takeaway</h3>

Kidney damage isn&rsquo;t caused by salty foods alone. Sweet drinks, refined carbs, baking powder, and heavy sauces can speed up kidney decline. To protect your kidneys:

- Cut back on very sweet foods, refined starches, and salty sauces.

- Pick whole-grain breads made with yeast instead of baking powder.

- Read labels and choose products low in sodium and phosphorus.

Caring for your kidneys today helps prevent lifelong dialysis in the future.
