longevity in order to reduce salt

Salt functions as a flavoring. But we also know too much eating a flavoring can be dangerous for our blood vessels. Actually, how strong our body can "accommodate" the salt?
Epidemolog. Nancy Cook and his team of research Rmelakukan Trials of Hypertension Prevention (TOHP) conducted in two phases. The first stage of research, focusing on four things: stress management, healthy diet, and reduction of salt. Whereas in the second phase focuses on weight loss and salt reduction. They involve three thousand respondents composed of male and female. The respondents certainly have no problem with blood vessels and their blood pressure.
Respondents then were divided into two groups. The first group were taught to choose foods low in sodium, while the second group were only taught how to choose healthy foods in general. Both groups were observed during the study the consumption of salts.
In the phase I study that lasted 18 months, respondents in the first group in a day just to consume one thousand milligram sodium, equivalent to 1 ½ teaspoons salt. And this measure to save them from the blood vessel disorders including high blood pressure.
In phase II studies conducted during the 36 months, respondents were given directions how to choose foods low sodium levels, managed to reduce sodium intake to 750 milligrams which is equivalent to one-third teaspoon of that culminate in vascular channels of quality excellence.
Whereas in the group given only know how to choose healthy foods in general, not significantly affect the levels of sodium in his body. Even nine percent of them still had a heart attack or stroke, whereas those who choose foods to control the sodium content is only experiencing the problem as much as 7.5 percent.
In the body, sodium is needed to deliver on our nervous system stimulation and remain adequate to keep the minerals in the body. But our bodies do not like all that much, including sodium. When the excess will be difficult for the kidneys to release fluid which was then made between cells become more numerous. This then makes the volume increase in blood circulation which then raise blood pressure in the plural we call hypertension.
The recommended dose of ½ - 1 teaspoon in a single day is a salty taste that we may enjoy. But for us who have kidney problems and high blood pressure, measure the safe side about ½ teaspoon.
