It is known that COVID-19, like other viruses, may not lead to death - but when a person has a reduced immunity, pathogenic bacteria that can seriously damage organs join in the attack of the virus on the body.
German scientists have discovered a new way to strengthen immunity and minimize the risks of an organism’s disease. They were able to prove that reducing sodium in foods increases the body's ability to resist infections.
According to a scientific journal Science Translation MedicineScientists at the University Hospital Bonn in Germany have proven that sodium salt depresses immune cells that protect the body from pathogenic bacteria.
The study, in which scientists found that salt weakens the immune system, was carried out by German scientists in two stages - first in rodents, and then in humans. Researchers introduced mice with a high sodium salt content into mice, after which hundreds of times more pathogenic pathogens were detected in the spleen and liver of animals that cause fever, vomiting, and even sepsis. At the second stage, human volunteers were studied - in their diet sodium salt contained six grams more than normal. And after some time, the volunteers also showed pronounced immunodeficiency.
But not only infections
As you know, in many countries the increased consumption of sodium salt is much higher than the WHO recommended norm - 8-10 g per day instead of 5 g. This means that humanity puts its own immune defense at risk. But not only - an excess of pure sodium chloride affects the increase blood pressure and increases the risk of a heart attack or stroke. In Ukraine, the situation with this is catastrophic, and they talk about it data of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine - only in the first month of this year 36.341 Ukrainians died from diseases of the circulatory system in the country.
We reduce to normal the sodium salt content in the diet without changing the taste of food and our habits
The problem of exceeding the intake of sodium salt is that no one likes to change their habits. Therefore, one of the ideal ways to reduce the consumption of sodium salt, which has been used by many people in European countries since the 70s, can be considered as replacing the usual sodium salt in the diet with a salt with a reduced sodium content, with the addition of Potassium.
Such a salt is a mixture of sodium salt and potassium salt with the addition of micronutrients deficient in nutrition, while maintaining the usual salty taste.
In Ukraine, a wide line of salt with a reduced sodium content is represented by SOLENA brand salt.
To the taste of the buyer, the lineup presents both salts based on sea salt (grinding No. 1), and on a finer basis - Extra salts.
SOLENA salt is a 70/30 mixture of sodium and potassium salts with the addition of micronutrients deficient in nutrition, such as iodine, magnesium, selenium, zinc, chromium.
SOLENA salt can be used for:
- healthy eating;
- prevention of cardiovascular disease;
- to implement the doctor’s recommendations on salt diet;
- elimination of potassium deficiency in nutrition;
- in other cases.
The use of such salt in Finland has reduced sodium intake by more than 30%, which has contributed to a 10-fold reduction in mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Keep your immunity high and take care of the cardiovascular system!
Reduce the intake of sodium salt to normal and reduce potassium deficiency in the diet will help salt SOLENA low in sodium (70% sodium salt, 30% potassium salt). Click to see where to buy salt SOLENA.
