Not heart disease, doctor says he is scared of one silent killer which causes no pain, reveals five foods that can increase risk. This includes one vitamin C-rich fruit, weight watchers love

Kidney disease is one of the most insidious health conditions to exist. It can go to an advanced age pretty quickly, without being even aware of the situation. Taking to X, internal medicine expert Dr Priyam Bordoloi explained how you can be having a seemingly normal life – eating, drinking and sleeping – yet your kidneys are failing you quietly. The doctor wrote why this disease was so scary: "Your kidneys can be badly damaged without causing pain. That is why kidney disease scares me. You can eat, work and sleep normally while kidney function keeps falling..." his post read. He also shared five foods that can improve kidney health:

Noodles

While noodles are tasty and comfort food for many, one plate of noodles can increase sodium intake Excess sodium or salt raises blood pressure and causes damage to your kidney blood vessels.

Processed Meats

Sausages, bacon and other processed meats carry a huge amount of salts. These raise blood pressure, which in turn impacts kidney function. “Added phosphates become a bigger problem when kidney function is reduced…” he added.

Sugary Drinks

Drinks with high sugar content, such as soft drinks and sweet beverages, don't only raise your blood sugar but also amplify blood pressure.

Fast Food Combo Meals

When you eat a meal that is a combination of fast foods, such as cheese, processed meat, sauces, and soda. When that combination is repeated, sodium, extra calories, and sugar push blood pressure, weight, and glucose in the same manner.

Star Fruit

Although this is a great low-calorie snack, rich with vitamin C and antioxidants and a must-have for those trying to watch their weight, people with kidney diseases should steer clear, as damaged kidneys would not be able to sustain themselves against the neurotoxins in the fruit. Eating this fruit if you have CKD can cause hiccups and seizures.
