Excessive intake of 0 1 can easily cause hypertension.
According to experts' investigation, there is a certain relationship between salt intake and the incidence of hypertension. The more salt you eat, the higher the incidence of hypertension. This is because under the action of some endocrine hormones, salt can increase the sensitivity of blood vessels to various antihypertensive substances, cause arteriolar spasm and raise blood pressure.
Eating too much salt is easy to edema.
Studies have shown that water retention in the body is closely related to sodium intake. Because there is too much salt, sodium accumulates in the body, and sodium is hydrophilic, which will cause edema and increase the burden on the kidneys. Especially for menstruating women, the increase of water retention caused by hormone levels, coupled with the role of high-salt diet, will aggravate abdominal distension, face swelling and other discomfort.
Too much salt can easily cause a cold.
Excessive salt will reduce saliva secretion, resulting in a corresponding decrease in lysozyme in the oral cavity, increasing the chance of virus implantation in the oral cavity. In addition, due to the penetration of sodium salt, the defense function of oral epithelial cells is inhibited, which greatly loses the disease resistance and allows cold viruses to invade the human body.
Eating too much salt is easy to get stomach cancer.
Salt itself is not a carcinogen, but foods containing too much salt will reduce the viscosity of protective mucus in the stomach, thus reducing its protective effect on the stomach wall. Various harmful factors in food are more likely to act on the stomach wall, thus promoting the occurrence of various stomach diseases. Epidemiological investigation shows that salt intake is positively correlated with the risk of gastric cancer.
Too much salt damages the throat.
In Chinese characters, there is a word that can describe the harm of too much salt to the throat, and that is "H not u". After a high-salt diet, people can obviously feel swollen throat, increased mucus, unclear throat, and some even cause cough and other symptoms. People with chronic pharyngitis or frequent pharyngitis must control salt lightly in their daily diet.
Eating too much salt can easily lead to calcium loss.
It is found that the amount of salt ingested by human body is directly proportional to the amount of calcium excreted. That is, the more salt intake, the greater the excretion of calcium in urine, and the more salt intake, the worse the absorption capacity of calcium. In other words, in terms of calcium supplementation, less salt can actually play a role of "not supplementing".
Cooking with high salt will reduce nutrition.
When cooking, especially when cooking, if salt is put in too early, the vegetable tissue will be "salted" and lose the protection of cell structure. Direct contact with high temperature will increase the loss of water-soluble vitamins such as vitamin C.
Eating too much salt will damage the kidneys.
Salt is an indispensable nutrient in people's lives, but eating too much will do harm to the human body. Excess sodium should be excreted from the kidneys, and excessive salt intake will greatly increase the burden on the kidneys.
