HEALTHY TIPS: THE SIDE EFFECTS OF SALT CONSUMPTION
Here’s a tip on how nest to consume salt and at what percentage
A new study published in the journal Circulation deepened the understanding scientists gained from a study in 2015. They discovered that more amounts of sodium in the blood affected how white blood cell prepares to react when it senses an unhealthy cell.
Dr. Sabrina Geisberger's team learned more about how salt impacts immunity: "It disrupts the respiratory chain, causing the cells to produce less ATP and consume less oxygen."
"If a high sodium level in the body causes short supply of ATP, it affects how these white blood cells mature… and, in turn, how effectively those white blood cells, which are largely responsible for the body's immune response, are able to function."
A lot of people think it's more complicated...and maybe even simpler than this. What did these folks eat along with the salt. I thought balance btw. potassium and salt was key to longer, healthy life. Can't just isolate salt like this.
Yet the story is about sodium, and indeed the sodium-potassium pump is central to immunity. With sodium-heavy diets, our body retains fluid that would otherwise be released to flush out dead bacteria and viruses killed by white cells.
