The Dhaka Times Desk Globally, the rate of early death is increasing, most of which is caused by excess sodium intake. The World Health Organization has recently published such information. All are asked to be alert in this regard.
Even after cooking with a lot of salt, it does not go well without a little salt at the time of eating. Many people have the habit of eating with salt even if it is not mixed with food. If there is less salt in cooking, the food does not stick to the mouth. However, the harmful side of excessive salt consumption is that most of the deaths worldwide are caused by excessive sodium intake, recently the World Health Organization has revealed such information.
Sodium is one of the essential nutrients in the body. However, too much sodium can be counterproductive. Recently, heart disease has started increasing. Even at a young age, premature death due to stroke, heart attack is seen. Unhealthy lifestyle, strong tendency to eat outside food, not taking care of body etc. are definitely behind heart attack and heart disease. However, one of the reasons for this sudden danger may be the entry of excessive amounts of sodium into the body.
And salt is one of the sources of sodium. According to a study published in the 'European Heart Journal', the habit of eating raw salt can increase the risk of death by almost 24 percent. The 'World Health Organization' guidelines state that consuming more than 5 grams of salt a day is not healthy.
Many use low sodium salt in cooking to avoid disease! But is it healthy at all?
Low-sodium salt can be eaten in moderation. However, many people add a little more salt to increase the taste while using this type of salt. In that case, the profit is nothing! According to nutritionists, salts that are low in sodium are also high in potassium. Potassium is not so harmful to the body. However, if any mineral accumulates in excess in the body, the problem can increase. If there is more potassium in the body, it also affects the kidneys. Source: Anandabazar Patrika.
