10 Common Habits That Can Damage Your Kidneys

7. Oranges and orange juice

While oranges and orange juice are low in calories and rich in vitamin C, they also contain high levels of potassium. One medium orange provides 240 mg of potassium and one cup of orange juice can contain about 470 mg.

Given these numbers, the consumption of oranges and orange juice should be limited, especially when you don’t have fully functional kidneys. If they can’t eliminate the excess potassium from the blood, this could be very dangerous for your body.
