Many aspects of our health, and especially blood pressure, depend on salt levels. Healthy eating is based on reducing the amount of salt and salty foods, but many people think that because of this, the food will be less tasty. A new study by scientists from the University of Kentucky has shown that a person can enjoy low-salt foods and easily accustom themselves to such a diet.
The study involved 29 volunteers suffering from hypertension, with an average age of 63 years. For 16 weeks they received useful information and were observed by nurses. Everyone was provided with special tools to assess the level of salinity in food. One of the main barriers to transitioning to a low-salt diet is human taste, as people feel that these foods are no longer enjoyable.
And now a study has shown that people can switch to a low-salt diet and enjoy food. Overall, participants in the first group reduced their salt levels by 1,158 mg per day, or 30%. And curiously, while they still liked salty foods, their enjoyment of not-too-salty foods increased from 4.8 to 6.5 on a scale of 1 to 10. But the mean systolic pressure fell. (READ MORE)
