10 Common Habits That Can Damage Your Kidneys

2. Meat

Eating too much meat may cause kidney problems because animal proteins can be very hard to metabolize, making the elimination of waste products a burden for the kidneys. A diet rich in animal proteins could also lead to developing kidney stones. Meat stimulates the production of uric acid, which is one of the common causes of kidney stones.

You could eat more vegetables and nuts instead and you’ll still get the proteins your body needs.
