The salt you are consuming can make you a victim of deadly diseases. According to a recent study, you can use salt with less sodium to reduce the risk. 

To reduce the risk of stroke and heart disease, low-sodium salt substitutes can be used instead of normal salt. According to a recent study, the use of salt substitutes can reduce the risk of recurrence of stroke by 14 percent and the risk of death by 12 percent. This study also found that the use of salt substitutes improves BP and reduces heart-related risks. 

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), people should consume less than 5 grams of salt (about 2 grams of sodium) per day. Salt substitutes contain potassium and are low in sodium, which can help prevent heart attack and stroke. Regarding this study, the researchers said that this could be a simple and inexpensive solution, especially for stroke patients.

Research on the effect of salt substitutes

The study is based on the "Salt Substitute and Stroke Study" (SSaSS) trial, which began in 2014. The study included about 21,000 people from 600 villages in five rural provinces in China. Most of these people were above 60 years of age and suffered from high blood pressure. The study compared the effects of using salt substitutes (75 percent sodium chloride and 25 percent potassium chloride) and normal salt (sodium chloride only).

why study is necessary

The lead author and researchers of this study, which included researchers from Wuhan University in China and the George Institute in Australia, said that the use of salt substitutes can be an effective and cost-efficient method, especially for those who cook at home and consume more salt. According to the researchers, this study is an important step, as it can inform public health strategies globally. When implemented on a large scale, it can prove to be a long-term solution for stroke and cardiovascular health.

conclusion

Reducing the risk of stroke and death by consuming salt substitutes could be a simple and effective way. This study proves that a simple dietary change can save lives. It is now important that this is made part of public awareness and public health policy, so that its benefits can be reaped globally.
