For what reasons can not completely refuse salt, portal Lisa.ru Svetlana Markova, a nutritionist and fitness trainer, said.
Salt is an integral component of most dishes, and it is quite difficult to completely eliminate it from the diet. A large amount of this product is really not too good for health: for example, WHO recommends that you limit one teaspoon of salt per day. It is better not to abuse fast food, convenience foods and smoked foods, as there is too much of this substance. But will the body benefit from a complete rejection of salt?

There is a salt-free diet during which a person excludes this product from his menu, but this type of food should be prescribed on the advice of a doctor. But healthy people who refuse to salt in the hope of losing weight, risk their own health.
What are the disadvantages of a “renunciation” of this substance?
1. Lack of sodium
From dietary salt, our body receives sodium, which plays a key role in maintaining normal water-salt balance in cells and regulating the volume of fluid in the body. And if sodium is not enough, you may begin muscle cramps, the risk of which increases in hot weather.

3. Temporary slimming
Weight loss in the process of losing weight on a salt-free diet will be temporary. As soon as you return products with salt content to the diet (you cannot refuse them forever), the lost kilograms will return.
