Many people have heard that "salt restriction" is healthy, so they blindly limit salt, but in fact, "excessive salt deficiency" will also cause great harm. Insufficient sodium intake will lead to the imbalance of osmotic pressure inside and outside cells of the body, which will promote water to enter cells, resulting in different degrees of brain edema, which will lead to consciousness disorder in light cases and adverse reactions such as accelerated heart rate, anorexia and nausea in serious cases. In other words, salt is not much, but it can't be less, and the right amount is king.
how much salt should I eat every day?
Chinese dietary guidelines recommend that a person's daily salt intake is less than 6 grams, of which 2 grams of salt is the amount of salt contained in the food that people eat every day, and the actual daily salt consumption for cooking should be 4 grams. The amount of salt consumed in a day is equivalent to the amount of smoothing an ordinary beer bottle cap.
