Low sodium salt is about 30% potassium chloride added to common iodized salt. Compared with conventional salt, the sodium content in it is reduced to 70%, which can help the human body maintain the balance of sodium and potassium and prevent and treat hypertension. It is suitable for some middle-aged and elderly people with heavy taste and hypertensive patients.
However, some people who are taking high-potassium drugs and patients with renal insufficiency, hyperkalemia and heart disease are not suitable for eating low-sodium salt, and athletes, heavy manual workers and other people who sweat a lot every day are not suitable for eating low-sodium salt.
Can low sodium salt be eaten for a long time? Suitable people, such as hypertensive patients and middle-aged and elderly people, can eat low-sodium salt for a long time, but taboo people should not eat low-sodium salt.
Middle-aged and elderly people generally eat salty food, which easily leads to excessive sodium intake, water and sodium retention and hypertension. However, if the salt is replaced with low sodium salt, the salty taste will not decrease, but the sodium content will decrease by 30%. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people and hypertensive patients can prevent and treat hypertension by eating low sodium salt for a long time.
What salt should normal people eat? 1. Seeing that normal people in the region choose salt, the first thing to look at is whether they are in high iodine areas dominated by water. If yes, you can choose non-iodized salt to reduce the occurrence of hyperthyroidism and other diseases; If it is a non-water source area with high iodine, it is recommended to choose iodized salt to prevent children from being stupid and goiter.
2. Look at this family. Because hypertension is hereditary, we can observe whether there are many people suffering from hypertension among relatives and elders. If there are many, it is recommended to choose low sodium salt; If there are few hypertensive patients at home, choose iodized salt or non-iodized salt according to the region.
4 What salt does hypertension eat? It is generally recommended to eat low sodium salt.
Patients with hypertension should reduce the intake of sodium salt, because excessive intake of sodium salt will lead to an increase in blood pressure, which is not conducive to the stability of blood pressure, and may also cause physical discomfort such as headache, dizziness, vomiting, and even borderline hypertension.
However, the sodium in the low sodium salt is reduced by 30%, which is suitable for patients with hypertension. However, it does not mean that patients with hypertension can eat low-sodium salt indefinitely, and it is still recommended that patients consume less than 6 grams of low-sodium salt every day.
