Nutritionist Iryshkin: the norm of salt intake is five grams per day named the norm of a healthy person's salt.
According to him, due to excessive amounts of salt, water begins to linger in the body, this leads to an increase in blood pressure, which increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
“The norm of salt intake is five grams per day. If you have high blood pressure, you can eat up to five grams of salt per day. If the pressure is 140 and higher, then the salt is limited to three grams per day, “he said.
According to Iryshkin, one should take into account not only the salt that a person adds to food on his own, but then its amount, which is contained in finished products.
The nutritionist recommended replacing table salt with various analogues. He noted that any herbs or spices, as well as salt with a lower sodium content, would work as a substitute. “In salt, sodium is the first thing we are afraid of because it raises blood pressure. It is easy to find potassium and magnesium salts in the store, for example, “he added.
