According to research, eating too much animal protein, especially from roasted red meat sources, increases the filter pressure on the kidneys, causing a condition known as "increased renal globulin filtration" - a risk factor leading to impaired kidney function over time. This is especially dangerous for people who already have chronic kidney disease.
In addition, when meat is grilled at high temperatures, above 150°C, on charcoal or direct heat, toxic compounds are formed that are associated with cell damage, inflammation and oxidative stress factors that contribute to kidney tissue damage.
Barbecue is often seasoned with salt and spices that contain high sodium, causing high blood pressure - the main factor that harms the kidneys. Experts recommend reducing consumption of sodium-rich foods to protect kidney function.
Eating grilled meat regularly can put pressure on the kidneys, creating toxic compounds and increasing the risk of kidney damage over time.
Limiting the frequency of eating grilled meat and replacing it with healthier cooking methods is necessary to protect kidney health.
