People choose processed and canned foods, because of their convenience, but these products contain extremely high sodium content. The body needs to work more to filter blood, when sodium levels become excessive, which leads to elevated blood pressure. Young people who already face risks from their lifestyle choices, will experience faster kidney damage, because of prolonged kidney strain from excessive workload. The sodium content in canned soups and ready-to-eat meals and preserved vegetables exceeds normal levels, because manufacturers add salt for shelf extension, without disclosing this to consumers. People need to select low-sodium alternatives and reduce their consumption of processed foods, to protect their kidneys.
