For years, experts say reducing sodium intake in the daily diet is useful to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. However, new study says, low-salt diet may improve cholesterol levels.
Although not known the outcome in the long run, the new study published in the American Journal of Hypertension found a low sodium diet actually increase levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, and other heart disease risk factors.
"From the results of this study proved that people do not have to worry about the excessive intake of salt to them," said Dr. Niels Graudal, consultants, and rheumatologic diseases in seniyor from Copenhagen University Hospital in Denmark.
It happened because of the sensitivity of sodium intake per person will vary. "Some people are more sensitive to salt than others. Even so, low-salt diet remains healthy," said Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, heart disease prevention experts from New York, USA.
Research conducted in Europe's scientists analyzed data from 167 studies comparing low-salt diet with a diet high in salt.
Low-salt diet does reduce blood pressure in white people, black, and Asia. However, increased levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, and enzyme renin (which regulates blood pressure), as well as the hormones noradrenaline and adrenaline (which affects blood pressure and heart rate).
The experts also warn that in reducing the risk of heart disease, salt restriction alone is not 100 percent effective. Patients also need to follow a healthy lifestyle, such as mengasup more fruits and vegetables, regular exercise, and meet the need of vitamins and minerals.
