WHITE SALT

by Shaheen Ali

Too much salt can cause high blood pressure, which increases the risk of developing coronary heart disease. Too much salt in the diet, which is marked by high sodium content, can deeply impact almost all biochemical pathways in your body. As a standard, your dietary intake of sodium should not exceed 2,000 milligrams per day. Any excess of this amount can inhibit the proper absorption of nutrients and disrupt normal body functions.

There is also increasing evidence of a link between high salt intake and stomach cancer, osteoporosis, obesity, kidney stones, kidney disease and vascular dementia and water retention – See more at: http://www.actiononsalt.org.uk/less/Health/#sthash.Y5jIvKRI.dpuf

Reduce the salt intake in your diet.

There are majorly seven dangerous health consequences of eating too many salty foods:

1. Hypertension:  High intake of salt causes water retention and promotes abnormal influx of water molecules into your blood vessels. Sudden rises of blood pressure can trigger life threatening cardiovascular emergencies like strokes and heart attacks.

2. Abnormal Heart Development : A habit of eating salty food can also heighten your risk of non-blood pressure related heart diseases. Having higher than normal blood volume means that your heart has to work much harder to provide proper circulation. Over time, your heart can become abnormally large and your heart valves can become thinner.

3. Osteoporosis : Women after menopause, diabetics and elderly people who are already at high risk of osteoporosis should be especially careful about salt intake. Having a high salt diet can drastically heighten your chances for fractures and other skeletal deformations.

4. Kidney Disorder : Elevated blood pressure and blood volume are also extremely damaging to your kidneys.

5. Dehydration & Swelling : Feeling thirsty is a direct response after having salty food. This happens because excessive sodium in your blood draws water out of your cells and into your tissues. Dehydrated cells signal your brain for water. Having fluid filled tissue makes you look bloated and swollen. Reducing your salt intake is an effective way of preventing swollen feet, ankles and calves.

6. Digestive Diseases : Too much salt can trigger acid reflux and cause heart burn and long-term damage to your upper digestive tract. Studies have shown that habitual intake of salty foods is a strong risk factor for duodenal and gastric ulcers and cancers.

7. Hormonal Imbalance : Too much sodium can severely hinder the conduction of nerve impulses and induce symptoms like dizziness, muscle cramps and shakiness. You can also have impaired sensory response, feel disoriented or develop other depressive symptoms.
