Less salt means more health

    World Salt Awareness Week is celebrated annually in the first days of November. By the word "salt" we most often mean table salt. As the saying goes: "Everything is good in moderation," and with salt this is especially true. It is important to observe the golden mean, to know that there is a daily norm of salt for a person, and to adhere to it, and this is no more than 5-8 grams per day. Salt is not food. It can cause water retention in the tissues. It clogs the ducts, and the fluid cannot leave the body. As a result, edema forms, and excess sodium chloride begins to accumulate. Sodium increases blood pressure, which is harmful to health in hypertension. If the disease develops, a stroke may occur. Excessive intake of salt into the body causes various diseases of the kidneys, liver, and heart.

    Health workers of the sanatorium "Krasivo" took part in popularizing a healthy lifestyle and promoting the reduction of salt intake and prepared conversations, films, booklets, leaflets for vacationers. The doctors of the sanatorium held a seminar - "Taste of Life" and a social advertising contest about self-restriction of salt and snacks. The purpose of the events is to reduce the consumption of salty foods in the diet of people in order to improve the health of the human population.

    We join the all-Russian movement to limit the use of salt and invite you to follow the minimum standards for the use of salty foods!
