Hyposodic salt

Low-sodium salt is a dietary food commonly used in the diet therapy of arterial hypertension and, more generally, in low-sodium diets. sodium chloride contained in traditional cooking salt; sometimes other substances are also present, added in order to improve the flavor of the product.

If used for therapeutic purposes, the low sodium salt must obviously be taken only after medical advice. Many diseases and some drugs, in fact, decrease the renal excretion capacity of potassium; in this case, increasing the intake of the mineral in the diet can be very dangerous. For this reason, especially if you have diabetes or heart or kidney failure, it is very important to consult your doctor before using this product. The same applies when taking, for example, potassium-sparing diuretics or ACE inhibitors (amiloride, spironolactone, triamterene, aldactone, eplerenone, captopril). In light of these considerations, the best thing to do would be to educate your palate, gradually decreasing the consumption of salt until it is eliminated and / or replace it with spices such as oregano, garlic, rosemary, turmeric, chilli, nutmeg, cinnamon and freshly ground pepper.

Finally, remember that in the presence of hypertension it is important not only to reduce the consumption of traditional sodium chloride (or possibly replace it with low sodium salt), but also and above all to decrease the salt "hidden" in food. For example, ready-to-eat foods, many frozen foods, fast foods, canned products, cured meats, savory cheeses, brines and many sauces are rich in them. For this reason it is important to get used to reading the nutritional labels and to contact a dietician or an expert nutritionist to receive the necessary indications. In addition to recommending or not the use of low-sodium salt, these professionals will be able to create a varied, pleasant meal plan and as far as possible in line with the customer's eating habits.
