Is a salt diet like Gong Yoo suitable for everyone? QuotingHealthline, a low-salt diet may provide benefits for people with certain health conditions, including kidney disease.

Sodium is an important mineral that performs many important functions in the body. Sodium is found naturally in foods such as eggs and vegetables, and is the main component of table salt (natrium chloride).

While important for health, sodium intake in food is sometimes limited under certain conditions. For example, low-sodium diets are generally prescribed for people with certain medical conditions, including heart failure, high blood pressure, and kidney disease.

Launching the Ministry of Health page, a low-salt diet is food and/or beverage arrangements for people with hypertension by regulating the use of kitchen salt in every food and or drink that will be consumed.

However, the benefits of a low-salt diet are not limited just to lower blood pressure for people with hypertension. According to a number of studies, consuming too much salt is associated with the risk of cancer.

People who consume salt exceed the normal limit, approximately an excess of 5 grams of sodium per day, the risk of developing intestinal cancer increases to 12 percent.

This is because consuming salt can damage the stomach mucose layer, increase the risk of inflammation, and support the growth of bacteria H. pylori. This condition can all increase the risk of intestinal cancer.

In addition, consumption of low-salt foods can also improve the quality of the diet. As is known, packaged foods, fast foods, and frozen foods (frozen foods), generally have a fairly high content of salt, fat, and calories. Most eating these foods are often associated with the risk of obesity and other chronic diseases such as diabetes or heart disease.

When you stop eating these unhealthy foods, indirectly you can improve your overall nutritional intake and diet quality, "said the Ministry of Health's website.

Not only controlling blood pressure, another low-salt diet benefit is to prevent damage and heart attacks. Hypertension is closely related to high cholesterol levels. When cholesterol levels are high, plaque and fat buildup in blood vessels also increases. As a result, a person is at risk of an attack or heart damage.

Another low-salt diet benefit is to strengthen the bone. It should be noted that salt has ion properties that can control how much calcium is drawn from the bone. Calcium is an important component to strengthen the bone and prevent osteoporosis. Therefore, limit the intake of salt so that the supply of calcium does not disappear and the bone remains strong.
