To determine which products are not good for our body, in this specific case for the kidneys, we must first understand their function.
What do the kidneys do?
The specific function of the kidneys is to filter your blood, so a healthy kidney is supposed to:
- Regulate blood pressure
- Balance minerals
- Remove excess fluids and acids from the blood
- Eliminate toxins, waste, and substances from the blood
At the same time, the kidney is responsible for leaving beneficial components like protein in the blood. It should be noted that when the kidneys are damaged, they don’t work or function like this, and albumin (a protein) leaks out and instead of staying in the blood as it should, passes into the urine. This condition is known as albuminuria or proteinuria.
Because of this, many doctors and specialists believe that excessive protein consumption can overload the kidneys, cause proteinuria, and therefore damage kidney function.
How much protein should you consume?
It is recommended to consume between 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. For example, take your weight, multiply it by 1 or 1.5, and the result will be the grams of protein you can consume daily. This is considered a moderate protein intake.
A healthy person, who has no kidney problems when starting protein consumption, would not be likely to develop them as long as protein intake is done properly.
Is it dangerous to consume a lot of protein?
No, it isn’t. Studies show that even high levels of protein shouldn’t be a problem if you have healthy kidneys. In fact, some people consume what can be considered high protein levels, such as athletes and bodybuilders, or people following a carnivorous diet, who could even consume up to twice the recommended protein.
