One of the main components of the body's water-salt metabolism is sodium and Potassium. As shown for the first time held in Ukraine STEPS-19, 85% of Ukrainians have broken water-salt exchange.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) standards, no more than 2g of sodium (5g of sodium salt - a teaspoon) and at least 3.5 grams of potassium per day should be consumed.
According to studies of STEPS-19, the majority of Ukrainians consume sodium almost 3 times higher than normal, at the same time potassium - 1.5 times lower than the norm.
Excess sodium intake and Potassium deficiency in the diet lead to the retention of excess sodium in the body, increased blood volume and blood pressure.
Regular excess of sodium intake leads to a quiet and insidious killer of our health - Hypertension.
What should I do?
Perform Doctors' recommendations:
- Reduce sodium salt intake to normal;
- Increase consumption of fruits and vegetables rich in potassium.
These recommendations can be implemented, also taking advantage of the experience of Finns, who instead of the usual, sodium salt, began to use salt with reduced sodium content.
This salt contains 70% sodium salt and 30% potassium salt.
Salt with reduced sodium content helped the Finns to normalize water-salt metabolism.
This has affected the normalization of blood pressure, the leading cause of cardiovascular disease (CCC) and the reduction of mortality from THES by almost 10 times, with a 13-year increase in life expectancy in Finland.
For those who have read this article to this point, we inform that it is possible to do as the Finns did, because salt, similar to Finnish, is already produced in Ukraine. It can be purchased in retail chains, in stores, in online stores. Such salt is produced in Ukraine under the trademark SOLENA.
Salt with reduced sodium content SOLENA Will, while maintaining the taste of the salinity of the food, reduce by 30% the intake of sodium and add the missing potassium to the diet.
Salt SOLENA is the cheapest source of potassium in the diet - 700g of such salt contains 100g of potassium. So much potassium is found in 300 bananas, 5kg of dried apricots - foods rich in potassium.
700 g salt can OF SOLENA will last for 4-5 months per person. At the cost of the jar 50-60 UAH. Costs will be 10-12 UAH per month.
