Are you one among those who consume too much salt?
Please be careful because too much salt intake might lead to many health issues. This has been shown in the research study.
The important point here is sodium that is present in the salt cannot be measured and hence it is difficult for a person to know exactly how much he or she is consuming every day. By excretions, the amount of sodium consumed by us could be determined and that is the best possible way.
Persons consuming too much of salt would show certain signs and the signs are
Frequent urination:
A person who consumes too much salt would go to the bathroom frequently for urination. This is an important sign. Sometimes, waking up in the middle of the night to urinate is also done by those who consume more salt though it might be due to other factors like UTI, overactive bladder, type -2 diabetes, etc. Please take care and try to know the exact reason.
Feeling thirsty always:
The point is foods that have high sodium in them mess up with the body fluid balance. Hence, we could feel thirsty always when we consume too much salt. This could be overcome by consuming lots of water.
Swelling in strange places in the body:
Sometimes we could feel bloated in the morning. This could be due to too much salt intake. On the fingers and around the ankles, swelling might be there. This swelling is called ‘edema’ and it could be due to too much salt intake or due to an underlying health issue.
Frequent headaches:
It is said that intake of too much salt might result in headaches in short intervals and it could be due to dehydration. To treat this, drinking lots of water is necessary.
