[Scientific power] This salt helps reduce stroke and heart disease risks. Have you ever eaten it?

Friends who often visit supermarkets will find that there are many types of edible salt in supermarkets, raw salt, refined salt, low sodium salt, iodine salt, selenium salt ...

There are so many types of salt, what kind of salt is better for the human body?

Recently, a study on low sodium salt revealed that the benefits of eating low sodium salt have a lot of benefits and help reduce the risk of stroke and heart disease.

According to the data from a number of low -sodium salt studies conducted by researchers from the University of New South Wales George Global Health Research Institute and other institutions, 19 of them involved the effects of low sodium salt on blood pressure, and 5 studies involved low sodium salt pairs of low sodium salt pairs. The impact of the incidence of diseases, the total number of participating research exceeds 30,000, is mainly patients with hypertension. In low sodium salt, the proportion of sodium chloride ranges from 33%to 75%.

The results showed that the blood pressure for long -term consumption of low sodium salt was controlled, the systolic blood pressure decreased by 4.61 mm Hg, and the diastolic pressure overall decreased by 1.61 mm Hg. In low sodium salt, for every 10%decrease in sodium chloride, the shrinkage pressure of the consumers will decrease by 1.53 mm Hg, and the diastolic pressure will decrease by 0.95 mm Hg. Low sodium salt can reduce the risk of premature deaths by 11%due to any reasons, reduce the incidence of heart disease or stroke by 11%, and the incidence of cardiovascular disease is reduced by 13%.

The Executive Director of the George Global Health Institute of New South Wales in Australia and the professor of medical professor of the University of New South Wales, Bruce Neil, said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency that the salt with high sodium content is easy to cause hypertension, and hypertension is the blood pressure. The main causes of heart disease and stroke. This study shows that low sodium salts can help lower blood pressure, thereby reducing the risk of stroke and heart disease.

So what is low sodium salt?

Low sodium salt is based on iodized salt, and a certain amount of potassium chloride and magnesium sulfate are added to improve the balance of sodium (NA+), potassium (K+), and magnesium (MG2+) in the body. Suitable for middle -aged and elderly people and patients with hypertension patients for a long time.

It should be noted that it should be used less regardless of fine salt and low sodium salt. No matter what salt is used, reducing the amount is the primary principle of a healthy diet.

However, in life, many food salt content is high. For example, the salt content in some seasonings is high, including soy sauce, oil consumption, and various sauces. Although the seasonings such as MSG and chicken essence are not salty, the composition is mainly sodium glutamate, and it also contains a large amount of sodium ions. In addition, some pickles such as pickles, bacon, sea fish and seafood and seafood food contain a lot of salt. Many bags of instant noodles, snacks, and cans of bags are also added in order to extend the shelf life.

The human body must maintain potassium sodium balance. While reducing the intake of salt, you should choose green foods with more potassium and less sodium -containing. The content of buckwheat and millet in the valley is high, and the kelp, fungus, laver, potatoes, Chinese cabbage, tomatoes, etc. in vegetables, oranges, hawthorn, bananas, apples, and nuts of nuts in fruits all contain rich potassium potassium Essence

Although we have repeatedly emphasized the reduction of salt intake, if a little salt is not intake, it will also cause certain damage to the body, such as causing hyponatremia. Therefore, most of the time, you need to see it as appropriate: for example, if you sweat in summer, you can eat salty, and you can eat lighter when sweating in winter.

Therefore, pay attention to the appropriate principle while enjoying the food, which is the golden criterion for maintaining good health.
