and foreign countries is the amount of salt. The daily salt intake of Chinese people is several times that of residents of other countries. Therefore, many Chinese health scientists and some foreign experts have pointed the finger at "salt" for causing diseases. .
The reason most people attack salt is that it causes high blood pressure and cancer, so in the eyes of the younger generation and even the older generation in China, "salt" has become the culprit. People began to advocate "low-sodium diets".
However, the doctor told everyone here that it is possible that this rhetoric of "eating less salt is healthy" may be broken. Studies have shown that eating too light is not healthy!
And according to a study of 181 countries and regions, people with strong tastes may live longer.
01, authoritative journal research: the saltier you eat, the longer you may live Mortality, natural lifespan, and finally came to a conclusion: where there is more salt, people may live longer.
As we all know, the country with the longest life expectancy in the world is not in Europe and the United States, but in Asia, yes, it is "Japan" who has a good life. The average life expectancy of Japanese people is over 80 years old. They are influenced by Chinese culture and have always eaten salty food, which runs counter to what some survey agencies say "eat less salt and live longer". The
paper also mentioned that eating 2.5 grams more salt a day may increase life expectancy by two years and reduce the number of deaths by more than 130 cases.
As far as the world is concerned, the life expectancy in areas that like to eat salt is not short. The average life expectancy in China, Japan, South Korea and other countries is steadily rising, which proves that the key to life expectancy is not the amount of salt, but the level of medical care. Is it advanced.
Just two years ago in , after a study of nearly 90,000 people in Japan, it was concluded that low-salt diets are accompanied by high mortality . This report surprised the world and silenced scientists who advocated low-salt diets. Silently, the world has set off a wave of re-studying the salt diet.
Soon after, European and American countries also began to launch related studies. A Canadian doctor of kidney disease said that people who often do not eat salt will have an 18% higher mortality rate than those who eat salt. Soon the United States also showed a study, A low-salt diet was associated with a more than 15 percent increased risk of death.
You must know that in European and American countries, their most critical way of life is the high-salt diet in Asia, but now they support the intake of salt in unison, which makes people feel that there is no absolute truth in the scientific world.
02. Will eating too much salt lead to "high blood pressure"?
So what is the cause of "high blood pressure" caused by salt that people are most concerned about? This statement
originated from a "deliberate" experiment. A scientist in the United States found a hypertensive-susceptible white mouse , and gave it a daily intake of about 500 grams of salt compared to adults. After a period of time, the Scientists have announced that mice suffer from high blood pressure.
In this experiment, the mice themselves are susceptible to high blood pressure, while normal people are not susceptible to high blood pressure; in addition, it is impossible for people to eat about 500 grams of salt every day, so this experiment is particularly Deliberately.
In recent years, more and more people have begun to challenge the rhetoric that high salt causes high blood pressure. For example, an article clearly stated that in normal life, the increase or decrease of salt has little effect on blood pressure.
Five years ago, the famous British medical journal "The Lancet" and China's authoritative newspaper "People's Daily" both released a piece of news: less salt does not mean health.
Table salt has the right to aid digestion. Salt has a salty taste, which can stimulate the secretion of saliva in the human mouth and increase people's appetite. I believe everyone has such an experience. When eating salty dishes, the intake of rice will increase.
Therefore, as Chinese, we do not need to be too demanding to reduce the intake of salt. As long as we can satisfy our daily healthy life and have no adverse reactions, we do not need to change our salt intake habits. In other words: ordinary people eat salt normally.
03. Salt intake in this way may be healthier.
The dietary guidelines for Chinese residents instructed that the daily intake of salt for Chinese people should be around 6g, and the intake of more than 6g of salt is called a high-salt diet, which may have adverse effects on the body. positive effect.
Therefore, salt intake cannot be reduced, nor a high-salt diet.
Salt is an important dietary substance for residents. Although it occupies a small proportion on the dining table, it is very important because salt contains sodium and is an indispensable substance in the human body. In addition, salt has many functions:
1, table salt has the effect of helping digestion. Salt has a salty taste, which can stimulate the secretion of saliva in the human mouth and increase people's appetite. I believe everyone has such an experience. When eating salty dishes, the intake of rice will increase.
2, to maintain the operation of the body.The salt used in China contains 95% sodium and a large amount of trace elements, which are the key elements to maintain the body's movement and metabolism, especially the sodium element, which can regulate the balance of body fluids, regulate the permeability of cells, and often sweat People need to add salt appropriately.
3, salt can reduce swelling and stop bleeding. Sprinkling salt on wounds is considered cruel, but salt can provide basic anti-inflammatory effects on wounds, and can also coagulate blood. In some specific cases, salt can save a fresh life.
To sum up, don't be superstitious about low-salt health. In comparison, and low-sugar life are more beneficial to your health. #health#
