How To Eat Prunes, Raisins & Dates
As for these fruits, if you have kidney issues already then we say, “if you can avoid them, do so”. Prunes, raisins, and dates are quite high in potassium as a cup of prunes has up to and/or over 1,274 mg of potassium. This is a high quantity, so an alternative like plums could work out much better for you. If you don’t have any kidney problems these are a better snack than something processed and sugary.
Go For Healthy & Unprocessed Foods
A lot of the labeling on most processed food can make it seem like a healthy choice for you, while it actually hides the truth of the matter. Processed foods contain a lot of salt, potassium, and phosphorus in much higher amounts than the body should consume. Seeing as your kidneys generally filter through the small quantity of these ingredients that your body needs, they will be put under immense pressure with the excess amounts. Go for fresher and more naturally produced foods; your body will thank you later.
