Isn't it possible to add protein to eat too much tofu? As a result, my husband's kidney is a bit bad during this time. Will eating too much tofu cause kidney damage?

    Eating too much tofu is indeed harmful to the kidneys. Under normal circumstances, the plant proteins that people eat into the body undergo metabolic changes, and most of them eventually become nitrogen-containing wastes that are excreted by the kidneys. In old age, the kidney's ability to excrete waste declines. At this time, if you do not pay attention to diet, eat a lot of tofu, and consume too much plant protein, it will inevitably increase the nitrogen-containing waste generated in the body, increase the burden on the kidneys, and make kidney function Further decline will not benefit your health.
