1, the harm of eating too much salt
1, excessive salt intake is easy to grow freckles.
Ladies who love beauty and salt should pay attention. If we eat too much salt, freckles can easily grow on our skin. If you eat too much salt, your skin color will be black and yellow, and the chances of freckles on your face will increase greatly. If we eat meat food and rich food in protein at the same time, it will slow down our metabolism and make freckles more obvious. Therefore, ladies who like to eat salt and have freckles on their faces should be especially careful, and the freckles on their faces will gradually decrease.
2. Excessive salt intake and body edema
Here are the cute snacks that are overweight. Note that excessive intake of edible salt will lead to the accumulation of a large amount of salt in the body, affecting the sweat glands in our body, making it impossible to eliminate excess water in our body, thus expanding our plump figure. Even if we urinate or sweat a lot, it will only be a temporary relief and can't cure the problem, but we want to lose weight but it has no effect, because the salt in our body is at work, so we should pay attention to the right amount of salt intake for plump and lovely snacks!
3, too much salt intake is easy to cause cancer.
Cancer has always been one of the killers of our health. There are many causes of cancer. What I want to tell you today is the problem of eating salt. Yes, excessive salt intake in daily life is one of the killers of cancer. Some friends who love salt may eat more than 20 grams of salt a day. In fact, this time is very dangerous. If you do this every day, your risk of cancer and myocardial infarction will be greatly increased compared with some people who consume 5 to 10g of salt every day. In addition, students who consume 10g of salt every day should not laugh, because the optimal salt intake of human body is 6g every day, so I hope everyone can reduce the salt intake slowly!
4. Excessive salt intake will damage the liver and kidneys.
Why does eating too much salt hurt the liver and kidney? I said slowly that eating too much salt will lead to an increase in blood volume, which will lead to an increase in blood pressure. So the question is, what does the liver do? Some people would say detoxification. In fact, that's just one of the functions of the liver. The liver is actually one of the important organ structures that regulate the internal environment of the body, and it will exclude unnecessary things in our body. Alcohol and salt are the same, but long-term high-intensity work will bring great harm to our liver, so we all know that the kidney is the two detoxification artifacts in the body. In fact, the kidney and liver are the oldest in controlling the urinary system, so people who eat too much salt will feel thirsty and drink an unusually large amount of water. In fact, this is the feeling of being cheated by the salt in the body. In fact, the food and fruit we eat every day contain a lot of water. Under normal circumstances, we only need to drink 1000~ 1200cc of water every day. Because we eat too much salt, we will subconsciously feel thirsty, so drinking a lot of water will cause great work pressure on the kidneys, so eating too much salt will harm the liver and kidneys. This is not groundless. Only a healthy eating habit can lead to a healthy body. This is one of the truths.
5, too much salt intake is easy to hypertension.
In recent years, there are more and more people with high blood pressure around us, so what causes our blood pressure to rise so much? Yes, in fact, he ate too much salt. It is also said that eating too much salt will increase our blood volume, lead to increased pressure on the blood vessel wall, make our blood vessels harden, and hypertension will come. Therefore, we should control the intake of salt in our life, and with scientific methods, blood pressure will naturally drop, and hypertension will never return!
2. What are the misunderstandings of eating salt?
Misunderstanding 1. Eating less salt is healthier. Eating too much salt (too much sodium intake) is not good for your health, but completely avoiding sodium salt will also have adverse effects on your health. Adequate sodium intake through salt helps to maintain the balance of body fluids and is beneficial to the health of nerves and muscles. Too little intake can easily lead to hyponatremia, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, headache and lethargy, muscle spasm and other symptoms.
Myth 2. Sea salt contains less sodium than salt. According to a survey by the American Heart Association, 6 1% people think that the sodium content of sea salt is lower than that of salt. In fact, the sodium content of sea salt and salt is the same, both of which are 40%. Dr Rachel Johnson said that although sea salt is rich in trace elements such as magnesium, potassium and calcium, these nutrients can also be obtained from other foods.
Myth 3. Cooking without salt, sodium will not be excessive. A survey in the United States found that more than 75% of sodium in daily diet comes from processed food. Ready-made soup packets, salad dressings, canned or bottled foods in supermarkets all contain a lot of sodium. On the food label, "low sodium" is defined as "no more than 140 mg", and "no salt" or "no salt" does not mean "no sodium".
Myth 4. A large amount of sodium exists only in food. In addition to salty food, many over-the-counter drugs also contain a lot of sodium. Patients with hypertension should pay attention to the warnings on the labels of these drugs. The sodium content of some drugs even reaches the daily sodium intake (1500mg).
Myth 5. Without salt, there is no taste. Restricting sodium intake does not mean that you can't enjoy delicious food. Fresh garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, vinegar, lemon juice and low-salt seasoning can also make food more delicious.
Myth 6. As long as your blood pressure is normal, you don't have to worry about eating salt. Hypertension is just a complication of salty food. Eating too much salt will lead to too much sodium intake, and it will also lead to obesity, diabetes and heart disease in the elderly. Therefore, even for people with normal blood pressure, the daily sodium intake should be controlled at 1500mg.
Myth 7. If you don't eat too salty food, you won't consume too much sodium. Common foods that are not too salty, such as cooked food, bread, sandwiches, cheese and canned soup, may also contain a lot of sodium.
So what kind of salt should ordinary people eat? First of all, no matter what salt it is, try to eat as little as possible. Not long ago, the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) published an epidemiological investigation report on salt and sodium intake of China people in 2009-20 12. The results showed that the average salt intake in China was 9. 1g, and the sodium intake in laboratory analysis was 5400mg, especially in Hubei, Henan and Beijing, where the average daily salt intake was above 10g.
If you buy low-sodium salt, the daily dosage is the same as usual, so it is beneficial (it is best to reduce the dosage), because the sodium is reduced and the potassium is increased (the potassium content specified in the low-sodium salt standard has been investigated, so you don't have to worry about exceeding the standard for normal use). If you buy low sodium salt, but the dosage increases, it is not necessary.
Therefore, the most important thing is "quantity". Buy a salt-limiting spoon. Before cooking every time, calculate the salt eaten by the whole family to avoid excessive consumption.
3. How to prevent eating too much salt?
1. Consciously correct eating habits
Many people are used to eating foods with heavy tastes, and a healthy diet should start with correcting such habits. The daily salt intake should be controlled by the total amount, measured with a quantitative salt spoon or a measuring tool, and vegetables should be placed according to the amount of each meal.
Step 2 put salt at last
Don't add salt too early when cooking, and add salt when cooking quickly, which can reduce the amount of salt while keeping the salinity unchanged. Especially for stews, the amount of salt should be better controlled and the soup should be as light as possible.
3. Don't forget the seasoning
Besides edible salt, condiments such as soy sauce also contain salt. Generally 10g soy sauce contains 1.5g salt, and 10g yellow sauce contains 1.5g salt. If the dishes need soy sauce and sauce, reduce the amount of salt in proportion when cooking.
4. Beware of invisible salt
In addition, thick soup, chafing dish bottom material, processed meat and other foods will contain a lot of salt, which will easily lead to excessive salt intake if you are not careful. When buying this kind of products, we should pay attention to the composition of sodium salt in the ingredient list, and control the salt content of other things on the day according to the situation to avoid exceeding the standard.
Generally speaking, we need to establish a sense of salt control and persist in it for a long time in order to benefit for life.
