New Delhi: Salt is an important part of our diet. Our food is completely incomplete without it. Food has no taste without salt
Comes. In such a situation, people make it a part of their diet according to their taste. Consuming salt in limited quantities is not harmful to health, but eating too much (excess salt intake) can cause many harms. The World Health Organization (WHO) itself has issued a warning about the serious consequences of excessive salt consumption.
Now recently a recent study has come out in this regard which has made shocking revelations. People who eat too much salt or include too much salt in their diet have a higher risk of stomach cancer than those who eat less salt, according to a new study. This has come to light in a recent study by the Center for Public Health of Vienna University. In such a situation, today in this article we will tell you about some such symptoms which show that you are consuming more salt than necessary.
Salt is made of sodium and consuming too much sodium can cause excess fluid to accumulate in your body, which increases blood pressure. Over time, high blood pressure can damage blood vessels and cause serious health problems such as heart disease and stroke.
Headache
Salt can affect the balance of fluids in your body, leading to headaches, especially in individuals who are sensitive to changes in sodium levels.
feeling very thirsty
If you are eating too much salt in your diet, it may make you feel more thirsty. This is because excess salt causes our body to try to maintain the balance by retaining water, which can lead to dehydration and thirst.
frequent urination
Excess salt in your body causes your kidneys to work harder to filter it out. This causes you to produce more urine to flush out excess sodium from the body, leading to frequent urination.
Tiredness
Eating too much salt can upset the balance of electrolytes in your body, causing a feeling of tiredness and drowsiness.
Swelling
Salt attracts water, so consuming it in excess can cause your body to retain water. This can result in swelling, especially in areas where fluid accumulates – such as the hands, feet, ankles and legs.
