The importance of a low-salt diet.

10.03.2021

From March 8 to 14, the World Salt Awareness Week is held in all countries.

In 2003, the World Health Organization recommended that all adults consume 5 g of table salt or 2.0 g of sodium per day. Since then, in all the recommendations that we use to this day, including for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, these values are repeated.

It is especially important to recommend limiting salt intake in patients with arterial hypertension. This is achieved by following several rules, thanks to which you can reduce your daily salt intake by almost 2 times:

  • reduce the addition of salt during cooking by 50%;

  • replacing canned food with natural products;

  • freezing, not preserving vegetables with food salt;

  • refusal to add salt to food during meals;

  • reduced consumption of pickles, marinades, and smoked meats;

  • use of unsalted seasonings.

Reducing salt intake is now an adjunct to the medical treatment of hypertension and contributes to improved blood pressure control, which reduces the need for medication.

Thus, it is considered proven that the restriction of table salt reduces blood pressure, which, in turn, reduces the further risks of cardiovascular diseases. It was found that the restriction of table salt is only 2-2. 5 g (1/2h. l. per day) In the future, it reduces the risk of strokes, heart attacks, heart failure, stenting and bypass surgery of coronary vessels, as well as cardiovascular mortality by a third.
