Common Foods You Should Stay Away From To Avoid Kidney Cancer

Shellfish, red meat, and processed meat are all examples of foods that, when eaten in large amounts, can be bad for your health and have been linked to a higher risk of kidney cancer. Even though it’s not always easy to figure out how much of these foods is too much, it’s important to know the risks and avoid eating them whenever possible.

Healthline lists the following as other things that can make you more likely to get kidney cancer:

foods that have a lot of salt in them

MedicalNewsToday says that studies have shown that if you eat too much salt, it can throw off the balance of fluids in your body, which can then lead to high blood pressure. This could make the signs and symptoms of low kidney function even worse. In turn, this can make it more likely for you to get kidney cancer.

Food has changed in some way.

Research has also shown that processed foods often have a lot of sodium, which can make it more likely that someone will get kidney cancer. If you can, try to eat less of the following things:

Fast food and snacks that are high in fat and salt (like potato chips)

Processed deli meats (like salami)

Bread in packages and all kinds of snacks

Sodas and sweetened drinks

Nitrates are used to keep some kinds of meat from going bad.

Packages of instant soups and noodles

Meals that are ready to eat and can be frozen or put on a shelf.

Alcohol

Several studies have found that drinking beer, wine, or liquor with cancer drugs may make the side effects of the drugs worse. Since alcohol has a lot of ethanol, drinking it can also make you more likely to get kidney cancer.
