Over control of hypertension "salt" also damage healthy

"Eat less salt, exercise more" is the slogan of the recent health of one of the most vocal. In order to prevent high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high blood sugar, diabetes and other chronic diseases, nutrition experts recommend salt per person per day not more than 6 grams, especially hypertension, diabetes, is to "eating light, and the control of salt intake quantity. " However, some hypertensive patients have misinterpreted this as "salt to high blood pressure negative", then simply do not salt.

Tianjin Chest Hospital, Zhao Ping, director of nutrition introduced, salt is to maintain the body's normal growth and metabolism indispensable material, can regulate the distribution of body water balance, in the formation of gastric acid, pepsin role to ensure that the pH necessary to maintain the body pH balance and normal body fluid circulation. People do not salt or too little salt will cause the body sodium content is too low, resulting in limb weakness, and health threats that will occur, or loss of appetite and dizziness, severe can lead to anorexia, nausea, vomiting, accelerated heart rate , cerebral edema, thin pulse, muscle cramps, blurred vision, reflecting reduced other symptoms. In particular, some patients also taking diuretics for high blood pressure, or easy to sweating, diarrhea, vomiting, were more appropriate to add salt to meet the needs of the body's needs.

Why should promote low-salt diet? Director Zhao introduced, salt can make the body "hydration", that there is some salt on the water adsorption, when the body into more than the body needs to eat salt, they will retain more fluid to dilute the excess sodium in the blood , it will increase the capacity of the blood, increase the burden on the heart, the blood pressure. Especially in patients with hypertension, salt intake per person per day is best under the guidance of doctors reduced to 3 grams. In fact, the normal adult daily requirement of sodium is 2200 mg daily intake of an adult and the food itself contains approximately 1,000 milligrams of sodium, you need to intake of sodium from salt is about 1200 mg, so in the case of a normal diet , the average daily intake of 3 grams of salt can be achieved on the basic human needs.
The amount of salt in the control, we should also pay attention to reducing the number of sodium intake of more food, such as soy sauce, MSG and pickles, pickled food, should eat or not eat; also be replaced with soy sauce, salt, 1 g equal to 5 ml of salt soy sauce.
So, neither the amount of salt and not too little too much, the family diet, how they should be reasonable control? Director Zhao introduction, 6 grams of salt per person per day intake calculations, a bag of 500 grams of salt packaging, control of a family of three can be eaten in a month. If the family three people a day, eat only one meal at home, the bags of 500 grams of salt is enough to eat the whole family for 3 months. But most of Tianjin Hi Kouzhong, many people in the control of daily intake of 6 grams of salt taste when they feel bad, like as not salt. In this case, you can change about cooking techniques, Burning, baked for the steaming, stewing, for example, the salt into a lot of fried pork ribs braised pork ribs, the amount of salt will drop a lot.
