Anyone who cares about health knows that a healthy diet should be light and not too salty. Eating too salty may damage the cardiovascular system, cause cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and shorten life expectancy. But recent research has subverted the cognition of medical experts, and the conclusion is just the opposite: the saltier you eat, the longer you live?

The European Heart Journal, the top international medical journal, published a study that subverts traditional cognition. As a result, for every 2.5 grams of salt added, the life expectancy is prolonged by 2.6 years, and by 0.3 years at the age of 60. In addition, the average increase of sodium intake 1g can reduce 13 1/65438+ ten thousand deaths. In other words, the more salt you eat, the longer your healthy life and the lower your risk of death. The data of this study show that China, South Korea, Japan and North America have higher dietary sodium intake, but their life expectancy is relatively high. This study excluded poor countries with insufficient salt intake.

How much salt should I eat every day? People in China seldom take a cup test every time they eat, right? I don't know how much salt everyone eats a day. If salt is really the natural enemy of heart disease, then the less salt you eat, the longer your life should be, but the research results are the opposite. Therefore, there is no need for people without hypertension to reduce their salt intake. We don't think this research is a health guide, but it is also a breakthrough for general medical experts.
