High salt intake increases the risk of premature death. Most of the worldwide increase in young age mortality is due to excess sodium intake. Recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) has made such information public. Even if you cook with enough salt, it won't work if you don't have a little salt at the time of eating.
Many people have the habit of eating with salt even if it is not mixed with food. If there is less salt in cooking, the food does not stick in the mouth. But do you know the harmful side of eating too much salt? The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently released such information that most of the deaths worldwide are due to excess sodium intake.
Sodium is one of the nutrients required by the body. However, excessive sodium intake can be counterproductive. Heart disease is increasing in recent times. Even at a young age, the incidence of premature death due to stroke, heart attack (Heart attack) has not occurred less. Unhealthy lifestyle, strong inclination towards eating outside food, not taking care of the body — these factors are definitely behind heart attack and heart disease. But one of the reasons for this sudden danger must be excessive sodium intake in the body.
Salt is one of the sources of sodium. According to a study published in the 'European Heart Journal', the habit of eating raw salt can increase the risk of death by about 24 percent. According to the 'World Health Organization' guidelines, consuming more than five grams of salt a day is not healthy. Various studies have revealed that Indians have more than 11 grams of salt in their diet. The risk of death is increasing in this diet every day.
Many use low sodium salt in cooking to avoid disease! But is it healthy at all?
Low-sodium salt can be eaten in moderation. However, many people add a little more salt to increase the taste when using this type of salt. In that case, there is nothing to gain! According to nutritionists, salts that are low in sodium are high in potassium. Potassium is not harmful to the body. However, if any mineral accumulates in excess in the body, the problem increases. If there is more potassium in the body, it affects the kidneys. So if you have kidney problem, it is better not to eat low sodium salt.
