Beware, this food is the worst for the kidneys!

After reading this, you will think twice before eating this food next time. Research has shown that most people like to start the day with a sandwich, and bacon is almost always an integral part of this morning meal.

Most are not even aware of how bad it is for their health. Experts advise us to be careful with this food.

First of all, it should be noted that ham also contains some good nutrients, but it also causes a "side effect" - water retention in the body. In order to have a good taste, this food is added the largest amount of salt and, according to the data presented by the United States Department of Agriculture, 85 grams of smoked ham contains up to 830 milligrams of sodium.

Precisely for this reason, frequent consumption of ham leads to water retention in the body, swelling of joints, legs and hands.

The negative consequences do not end there. High salt intake can worsen water retention in those with high blood pressure, thereby increasing pressure in the blood vessels and increasing the risk of heart attack or stroke. Also, it can accelerate the loss of calcium from the bones, which after a long period can lead to serious bone problems. In addition, a large amount of salt has a direct negative effect on the kidneys and liver.

The advice of nutritionists is to eat bacon, but in moderation. Also, it would be good to drink a lot of water after a meal.
