Health Tips: According to Ayurveda, salt taken in right quantity is a boon for the body, but excessive consumption of salt makes the body sick. Excessive salt consumption can cause high blood pressure and heart diseases. It unbalances bile and phlegm, which causes joint pain, so let us know what the side effects of consuming excess salt can be.
According to the World Health Organization, an adult should not consume more than 5 grams or one teaspoon of salt in a day. According to the information, on an average people in India consume 10 to 15 grams of salt every day. Eating too much salt can cause many problems in the body.
kidney damage
Excessive consumption of salt affects kidney function. If salt or salt-based products are consumed for a long time, it can cause kidney damage. This happens because the kidneys have to work harder to filter sodium. Continuously increasing burden can damage the kidneys.
Increase BP problem
Consumption of salt increases high blood pressure and swelling of the body. The amount of sodium increases the amount of water in the blood and this creates more pressure on the cells. Due to this BP starts increasing. Along with BP, swelling on the body also starts increasing. When the burden on the kidneys increases, swelling occurs on the face, under the eyes, and on the legs, which indicates that the kidneys are not functioning properly.
bone damage
Excessive salt intake also weakens bones and causes stomach irritation. When the amount of sodium in the body increases, calcium starts to be released from the body with urine and the bones lose their strength. In such a situation, the problem of joint pain and knee pain starts.
It is important to consume salt in the right quantity
To avoid this, reduce salt intake. You can use black salt in food. If you feel that there is less salt in the food then use black salt on top or you can also add lemon to improve the taste. Apart from this, also add some rock salt to the vegetable. To balance excess salt in the body, keep drinking water continuously.
