In an online health lecture, he heard experts say that eating less salt and drinking more water can prevent thrombosis, arteriosclerosis and various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, so he thought that eating salt would cause problems, so he simply didn't eat salt and increased the amount of drinking water every day. If he has nothing to do, he can drink about 2500 ml a day. He thinks this will keep him away from the risk factors of the disease and keep him healthy.

On June 30th, Uncle Chu felt headache, general weakness, nausea and vomiting, and was sent to Wuhan Donghu Hospital by his family. Lying in the hospital bed, he is still stressing to the doctor that he pays great attention to health and is not sick. After examination by the attending physician Tao Quan, Uncle Chu was diagnosed with hyponatremia.

Since Uncle Chu is usually in good health and pays attention to health preservation, why does hyponatremia suddenly appear? Faced with the doubts of the elderly and their families, Tao Quan explained that the reason was that he ate less salt and drank more water.

Tao Quan introduced that hyponatremia is the most common disease of imbalance of water and salt in the body. When hyponatremia occurs, a series of manifestations such as headache, nausea, vomiting, irritability, limb weakness or spasm often occur, and in severe cases, coma may occur. If you don't pay attention to it, you may even be in danger if you don't seek medical treatment in time. In life's health-preserving methods and prevention and treatment guidelines for many diseases, low-salt diet can reduce the occurrence of thrombosis, arteriosclerosis and various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and can keep healthy. It is indeed necessary to reduce salt, but choosing a completely salt-free diet and drinking a lot of meaningless water beyond your own needs is prone to hyponatremia and even water poisoning.

Tao Quan reminded the elderly who pay attention to health that it is not advisable not to eat salt. Drinking too much water is not good for your health, and moderate amount is the best. It is suggested that the daily intake of salt is 3 ~ 5g, and the amount of drinking water is 1500~ 1700ml. The water obtained in the diet can keep you healthy.
