WHO announced a new recommendation on salted salt

Instructions were published by the World Health Organization (WHO) on February 5, indicating that people should convert regular salt salt in the kitchen with potassium chloride salt, also known as K. WHO salt said that this said this. Can help reduce the amount of sodium consumption, thereby reducing the risk of chronic diseases.

Firstly, the guide emphasizes the cutting of sodium consumption to less than 2 grams a day, equivalent to about 5 grams of salt. Secondly, it is recommended to remove common salt because this is still one of the best ways to reduce the amount of sodium. Finally, WHO recommends that users replace part of salt with potassium.

New recommendations do not apply to women, children or those living with kidney failure. There is not enough data to propose to using potassium -based salt for these groups.

Normal salt salt contains sodium chloride. K Salt replaces sodium chloride with potassium chloride, which can help reduce sodium consumption and enhance potassium consumption. This substance is often found in foods such as beans, peas, seeds, vegetables such as spinach and cabbage, fruits like bananas and papaya.

Although the evidence is not convincing enough, many positive signs show that the use of potassium salt can reduce about 30% of the sodium content in food without affecting the flavor. Some studies show that boosting potassium consumption may significantly reduce blood pressure.

Experts have reviewed 26 random trials from around the world, a total of nearly 35,000 participants. The tracking time lasts from nearly two months to 5 years.

The conversion of eating salt helps lower the systolic blood pressure to 4.76 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure to 2.43 mmHg. Since then, volunteers reduce the risk of non -fatal stroke by 10% and death from cardiovascular disease by 23%. Using the replacement salt also increases the concentration of potassium in the blood to 0.12 mmol/l.

However, WHO is not “strong” recommended to switch to the use of replacement salts. Some evidence shows that changing the way of eating still causes high potassium to consume in everyone.
