5. People With Kidney Problems or Potassium Restrictions
Avocados are naturally high in potassium. While potassium is essential for healthy muscle and nerve function, people with kidney disease may have difficulty eliminating excess potassium from the body. High potassium levels can be dangerous for those who are required to follow a low-potassium diet.
Because of this, individuals with chronic kidney disease or those on dialysis should not assume avocado is safe simply because it is natural. They should follow medical or dietitian guidance and avoid or strictly limit avocado if potassium restriction is required.
