Scientists have found that those who have the habit of adding salt to their food and those who eat almost every food with salt, have an earlier risk of death.
Publika.az informs that the scientists of Tuleynsk University came to this decision as a result of scientific research.
Adding salt at the table to already salted cooked food is a common food habit.
25% of people use salt as a must as a condiment.
The authors observed half a million people for 9 years.
They were over 40 years old. During this period, 18,000 of them died. Scientists have come to this conclusion by analyzing the food habits of so many people.
– People who sprinkled extra salt on their food at the table died 28% earlier than those who did not salt it at all.
– If men continue to sprinkle salt on their food after the age of 50, the risk of death increases by 2.5 years.
– Women who sprinkle salt on their food live 1.5 years shorter.
Therefore, it is especially important for middle-aged and elderly people to minimize salt at the table.
Try to use herbs and spices instead of salt.
Those who eat a lot of salt can neutralize the salt in the body with some fruits and vegetables. (medicina.az)
