Release date: 2016-05-31

Many studies have shown that high-salt diets can cause high blood pressure, heart disease and other cardiovascular diseases, but this does not mean that the lower the salt intake, the healthier. According to the latest research, salt intake is too low to be harmful to health.

A study published in the top journal The Lancet found that salt intake below normal may increase the risk of heart disease, stroke and death. Only people with high blood pressure and high salt diets should reduce their salt intake.

In addition, the researchers believe that the current recommended daily salt intake may be too low. The American Dietary Guidelines recommend that people consume less than 2,300 mg per day, which is equivalent to 1 teaspoon. However, a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that 90% of Americans eat more than 2,300 mg of salt this year. It is widely accepted that high-salt diets can cause high blood pressure and increase the risk of heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases. However, is the recommended amount of 2300 mg to reduce the salt intake to the dietary guidelines really reduce the incidence of these diseases? This research answers this question.

The study collected data from 130,000 participants in 49 countries. The researchers investigated the salt intake of these individuals and the salt intake between high blood pressure and normal blood pressure and heart disease and stroke. Relevance. The results show that people with low salt intake are more likely to suffer from heart disease and stroke, regardless of high blood pressure, compared to people with moderate salt intake. Moreover, the results of the study also showed that only people with hypertension had a risk of cardiovascular disease when their daily salt intake was higher than 6000 mg. Based on their findings, author Mente suggested that reducing salt intake should only target high blood pressure people with high salt diets.
