Salt cannot be completely abandoned – 2024-03-22 11:01:02

Too much salt causes various diseases in our body. But this should not mean giving up salt completely.

Because the life of every cell in the human body is provided by calcium, sodium and potassium ions. If you completely remove salt from your diet, the body’s internal reserves will last 10-12 days.

Publika.az medicine.az reports that according to doctor Aleksandra Chistyakova, the body receives sodium and chlorine with food salt, which is necessary to create hydrochloric acid in the stomach.

“The daily norm of salt is two to three grams. It should be taken into account that we take 10 grams of salt from the natural composition of food. This will make a total of 12-13 grams per day.

Studies have shown that the risk of premature death increased by 80 percent in 3,500 patients diagnosed with heart failure who consumed less than two and a half grams of salt per day.

Due to low sodium in the blood (hyponatremia), diuretics, fluid intake, kidney failure, and cirrhosis may occur.

Sodium deficiency can occur not only with low consumption of food, but also with active sweating. It causes headache and dizziness, muscle weakness, convulsions and low blood pressure. Therefore, it is dangerous to completely remove the salt.”
