Eating salty is not good for the elderly brain and heart
High salt intake may adversely affect the brain and cardiovascular system of the elderly. In particular, just using a small spoonful of salt a day can reduce memory and increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
The latest research report from the University of Toronto, Canada, said salt is very dangerous for the cardiovascular system, especially the relationship between salt and the reduced "heart" function of the elderly.
Monitoring salt consumption and physical activity levels for 1,262 healthy men and women from 67 to 84 years of age in three years, the experts stated: "Their research results I showed that a salty diet, combined with less exercise, is likely to lead to poor cognition in the elderly, whereas, less sedentary or less physical activity does not impair the cognitive ability of old person."
Professor Carol Greenwood, head of research at the University of Toronto, recommends that every day, an elderly person who uses sodium at levels of more than 3g or more than a teaspoon of salt equal to 8 g is at risk Memory loss, stroke and stroke are very high.
These findings are important because they can help actively regulate a proper diet, especially table salt and exercise to maintain a healthy brain when you are old.
