Health News Desk, Salt added to any type of food is an essential ingredient. Without it, we cannot even imagine eating spicy and tangy dishes. Some people like to eat less, while some people like to eat more salt in their food. But do you know that excessive consumption of salt can cause many diseases and can also spoil your health. Yes, you are hearing it right. If you also eat more salt than the limit, then be careful, because it has many side effects. Eating food with more salt can cause many diseases to the body, which can also prove to be fatal. An adult person should consume about 2400 mg of salt per day. If you eat more salt than this, it can prove to be harmful. You may not see its effect in the beginning, but in the future when the amount of salt in your body increases, you may have to face many problems. Let us know what physical problems can be faced due to excessive consumption of salt.
Side effects of eating too much salt
Heart failure: Consuming too much salt puts pressure on your blood vessels, which can increase blood pressure and lead to high blood pressure, stroke and heart failure. However, this problem does not occur in people who eat less salt.
Kidney disease: If you have been consuming too much salt for a long time, then be careful now. Because it can damage your kidneys later. You may face a situation in which the kidney loses its ability to filter water.
Osteoporosis: Excess sodium in the diet can lead to calcium loss in the bones. When you eat a high-salt diet, you are also excreting less calcium from your body. This weakens the bones and leads to osteoporosis.
Swelling in the body: This condition arises when excessive salt intake causes ‘water retention’ (increase in fluid volume) in your body. This is why you feel very thirsty after eating salty food. However, when one starts consuming some foods without salt and also increases the amount of water, the swelling in the body goes away. But even then, stress is dangerous for your body.
