Salt has two element, sodium and chloride. The sodium is where people think its bad for your health. Now first of all, sodium is generally not bad because we need sodium to balance the water in our bodies. Like everything else we need things in moderation, if over consumption things goes bad. Well its easy then right? Well not that simple…
You see our body only should consume 2400 mg sodium a day which is one tablespoon of salt. But regularly our food contain much more than that, even one burger contain more than 2400 mg sodium. In every fast food or even frozen dinner contain at least 1000 mg of sodium. So its gonna be hard to do what those health expert say we need to do, the best way to limit the consumption of sodium is to cook your own meal, and cook it fresh.
What happen if you consume sodium more than you should?
Well, the effect isn’t going to happen now. But it will stack up and would make your blood pressure going up through the roof and before you know it… you are in deep worry of heart attack just because the young you want to enjoy life and eat to many salted food.
