Why should we shake the salt habit?
Most of us are addicted to the white stuff. At every meal we have to grab the saltshaker and sprinkle the already salted meal! Most times it is just a bad habit that we grow up with. Don’t forget, it is very important to get enough salt in our daily intake. But did you know, that we get more than enough in the typical foods we eat without adding extra?
One level teaspoon of salt is the recommended intake of sodium a day. That is not very much but it is acceptable for a healthy person. The general rule is 2400 milligram a day.
About 40% of people are salt sensitive as it is. That means, the extra salt will increase the fluids in your body, including the amount of blood. Just think about what that those to your body! It makes your heart pump harder, that will raise your blood pressure and the risk of a heart attack and stroke. Did you know, that your salt sensitivity will increase with age.
I think it would be a good idea to start checking the labels when we go to the store more often.
It would be a good thing to cut down with the convenience foods. I’m sure not many of us like that thought, because of our busy lives. It is just easier to put a frozen dinner in to the microwave, after a very long day in the office. But in the long run you do yourself a favor if you look after yourself a little bit better.
That is it for this time. Till next time all the best.
If you know a little bit more about it feel free to comment on it.
Don’t take this with a grain of salt.
