Why do dieters need less salt in their diet?

Because too much salt will reduce people's basic metabolism, which is not conducive to weight loss. The specific reasons are as follows:

1. salt is a substance in which chlorine and sodium exist in the form of ions or compounds. When we consume too much salt, that is, the salt in extracellular fluid increases rapidly unilaterally, it will produce osmotic pressure inside and outside the cell, suck up the internal fluid of stem cells, and make the cells fragmented and exhausted.

2. Drink plenty of water until you are hungry, and the concentration of extracellular fluid remains equal to that of internal fluid. This slow and unbalanced metabolic process will affect the normal and effective operation of organs and the metabolic ability of other chemicals in the body, thus making fat decomposition slow and causing weight loss failure.

3. Obese patients are often accompanied by high blood pressure, but excessive intake of sodium will increase blood volume, thus raising blood pressure, making people suffer from high blood pressure, increasing heart burden and promoting heart failure. Therefore, eating more salt has a more significant impact on obese patients, so eating less salt during weight loss can not only avoid further increase of blood pressure, but also reduce body weight by reducing water retention. So when you lose weight, you must eat less salt.
