Salt has almost no calories, but if we eat too much salt, it will lead to water and sodium retention, and excess water in the body cannot be discharged, which will lead to false weight gain and even edema.
Excessive salt intake will also affect the circulation and metabolism of body A, and the slow and unbalanced metabolic process will affect the normal and effective operation of organs and the ability to metabolize other chemicals, thus slowing down the decomposition of fat and causing the failure of weight loss.
In addition, salty food, even with limited calories, will greatly stimulate our appetite and make it more difficult to lose weight.
How much salt is appropriate to eat every day?
Dieters don't have to limit their salt intake too strictly. According to the requirements of healthy people, that is, the Recommended Dietary Guidelines for China Residents (20 16), the daily salt intake of each person is less than 6g.
The Lancet magazine's research results are more stringent, and the best standard is about 3 grams per person per day. According to statistics, the average daily salt intake of Chinese residents is more than 8 grams. Whether you lose weight or not, everyone should pay attention to controlling salt intake.
