For those who do not know that the intake of food or products of industrial origin is harmful to our health, it is worth mentioning that when we consume foods containing synthetic phosphorus, it enters directly into our blood system and generates negative impacts.
Phosphorus plays a vital role in our metabolism, but a point in our favor is that this mineral is found naturally in animal and vegetable sources.
▶ Incorporating phosphorus in our daily intake is essential for the body to carry out its functions correctly, however, phosphorus is one of the elements that when consumed in excess generates problems of a renal nature.

Phosphorus of animal origin can be consumed from fish, red meat, eggs, seafood and also from dairy by-products. It should be emphasized that phosphorus from fish has a high biological value due to its high levels of omega-3 fatty acid.
Beyond the source, what should be considered when ingesting phosphorus in excess can cause various health complications, including kidney problems, therefore, people suffering from this pathology are recommended to establish a diet low in phosphorus.
▶ In relation to plant species rich in phosphorus that we can consume in moderation, we find: whole grain cereals, including wheat, oats and rice, as well as nuts, and lentils, as I mentioned before, these plant species should not be consumed in excess, as they can cause adverse reactions.
