However, salt has no heat. Why can't salt intake be excessive during fat reduction? Because: too much salt will change the habit of making and metabolizing fat, and make the body fat unconsciously. However, although salt intake should be controlled during fat reduction, eating less is not acceptable!
Why should we reduce salt and fat?
High-salt diet promotes insulin secretion
Studies have shown that too much salt in the diet will promote insulin secretion, and too much insulin will make your body think that the current sugar reserve is insufficient. In this way, the body will continue to store sugar according to the instructions of insulin, but at this time the sugar content may have exceeded the standard, and the excess sugar will be converted into fat and stored in the body.
Simply put, the higher the insulin in the human body, the more fat stored in the body, and the higher the body fat rate.
Increase food intake
In addition, salt can stimulate the secretion of dopamine in the human brain, thus affecting the nerve transmission of the "pleasure center" in the human brain, making you feel happy during eating. Once you have this experience, people will want to eat more and eat more. This is why heavy eating always makes people want to stop.
Wouldn't it be better to cut off the salt directly?
Since salt is not good for weight loss, is it good for fat loss to cut off salt? Not really!
Sodium is a very important and indispensable electrolyte for human body. If the body lacks this mineral, it will bring a lot of uncomfortable reactions. Especially when we usually exercise, the body will lose a lot of salt because of sweating, so we should pay special attention to the supplement of salt.
Salt plays a decisive role in cell osmotic pressure, water balance and acid-base balance. Sodium ion is also a component of pancreatic juice, bile, sweat and tears, which is closely related to muscle contraction and nerve function. Chloride ion is used to produce hydrochloric acid in the stomach, which contributes to the normal absorption of vitamin B 12 and iron, participates in the activation of amylase, and inhibits the growth of bacteria that enter the stomach with food. Therefore, breaking salt is absolutely impossible! Unless they are professional bodybuilders, in order to get clearer muscle lines in the competition, they will have a short salt cut before going on stage.
For low-carbon diet, especially for friends who are in the early stage of low-carbon diet, salt is especially indispensable. At the beginning of low carbon, insulin began to drop sharply, which would lead to a large amount of dehydration of kidneys and the loss of important minerals such as sodium, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium.
How much salt is appropriate during fat reduction?
The World Health Organization recommends that the average person's daily salt intake is 6-8 grams. The Dietary Guidelines for China Residents advocates that the daily salt intake of each person should be less than 6 grams. For patients with mild hypertension, the American Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs recommends that the daily salt intake be controlled at about 4 grams, which is also suitable for patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in China.
People who usually love sports can appropriately increase their salt intake because they sweat a lot. For the small partners with low-carbon diet, increase the intake of salt!
