Medical Salt Expert: "The habit of eating a lot of salt affects health"

Although salt is an essential component of the human diet, however, reality shows that the habit of eating a lot of salt can affect our health.

According to research by the World Health Organization (WHO), the average salt consumption worldwide is about 9-12g per person per day, equivalent to 2-3 teaspoons of salt per day. This consumption is much higher than the WHO recommendation not to exceed 5g per person per day.

This is the question that many people ask. Scientific studies show that consuming too much salt can cause many serious health problems, including:

• Hypertension: Salt can raise blood pressure by causing the body to retain water and causing the heart to beat faster. If hypertension is not controlled, it can lead to cardiovascular diseases and strokes.

•  Increased risk of cardiovascular disease: Excessive salt consumption can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease by raising blood pressure and causing arterial problems.

•  Increased risk of kidney disease: Excessive salt consumption can increase the risk of kidney disease by increasing blood pressure on the kidneys and causing them to function inefficiently.
• Causes headaches: Salt can cause headaches by increasing pressure in the arteries and causing discomfort.
•  Causes dry eyes: Salt is a dry substance, so if too much salt is consumed, the body will dry out. This can cause dry eyes and other skin-related problems.

Therefore, reducing the amount of salt in food is very important to protect our health. To reduce the amount of salt in food, we can apply the following measures:

1. Limit the use of salt in dishes.
2. Use other spices and herbs as a substitute for salt.
3. Learn about salt-rich foods and limit their consumption.
4. Opt for ready-to-eat or processed foods that contain low amounts of salt.

To minimize the impact of eating too much salt on health, experts recommend significantly reducing daily salt intake. Instead of using powdered salt, it is recommended to use other alternative spices such as garlic, ginger, onion, chili, lemon ... Moreover, it is recommended to choose food products that contain less salt and avoid using processed foods. If additional salt is needed, it is recommended to use pure, body-absorbed medical salt such as ANSO Medical Salt, instead of using conventional salt.
