Salt has long been maligned, but what does the research actually say?

It turns out that too little salt can be just as dangerous as too much – and often more so.

Let's dive into why salt is important, how it affects your body, and how you can find the right balance.

What does the research say?

A study from The Lancet (2018) changes our understanding of salt.

It shows that:

• Reduced salt intake only reduces heart disease in people with high blood pressure.
• In healthy people, low salt intake can increase the risk of heart disease and worsen health

The study found that moderate salt intake protects the heart, especially among people without chronic high blood pressure.

This is because salt plays an important role in maintaining the body's fluid balance and heart function.

Electrolytes: The body's vital minerals

Electrolytes are minerals such as sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium that help to:

💧 Regulate fluid balance

💪 Support muscle contractions

🧠 Ensure proper nerve function

The ratio of electrolytes:

The body excretes electrolytes through sweat, especially sodium, which we need to replenish the most.

Drinking a lot of water without replenishing sodium can lead to imbalance, fatigue and cramps. Therefore, drink fluids other than just water, such as milk, fresh juice, coconut milk and the like.

What do the experts say?

Although salt is essential, it is important to balance it with other electrolytes.

But remember: Before significantly changing your salt intake, always consult your doctor.
