Don’t Eat Too Much Shellfish

Sometimes seafood provides some major health benefits, but eating too much shellfish can start to harm your kidneys over time. Research published in the 2014 Journal of the American Society of Nephrology revealed that shellfish has a chemical called domoic acid, which is harmful, if not toxic. The condition is called “Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning”, and your kidneys can get severely injured. This acid can still hurt your kidneys even in low quantities, so eating plenty of seafood actually does more harm than what people think.

Most people don’t get MRIs very often, but you should know that the dye that is used to contrast colors in the body can be harmful to your kidneys. These dyes have a side effect called Contrast Induced Nephropathy (CIN), which is a disease that causes kidneys to fail for a maximum of three days. Thankfully, CIN is reversible, though it is still dangerous.
