염분 섭취를 줄이는 것을 목표로 하는 국가 프로그램은 수만 건의 심장마비, 뇌졸중 및 사망을 줄이고 미국의 국가 의료 비용을 240억까지 줄일 것입니다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 사용한 연구에서는 금연, 콜레스테롤 저하 또는 적당한 체중 감소와 같은 예방 전략의 효과와 유사한 것으로 나타났습니다. 그러나 식품 생산 기업이 조치를 취하지 않으면 개인 혼자의 식단에서 염분 섭취량을 크게 줄이기가 어렵습니다.
About 75 percent of the salt intake in the diet comes from processed foods, the researchers said. More and more studies have shown that reducing salt intake in the diet is an effective weapon against hypertension and cardiovascular disease, which further enriches these studies. "It's time to take action to reduce salt intake across society," said Kirsten bibbins Domingo, the study's lead author and associate professor of medicine and epidemiology at the University of California, San Francisco.
Morton Satan, technical director of the American Salt Association, said there were few data showing a link between salt intake and disease. He questioned the obvious health benefits of reducing salt intake. Americans' daily salt intake is much higher than the recommended daily salt intake. An average American adult male consumes more than 10 grams of salt a day. On January 20, the American Heart Association released new guidelines calling on all Americans to reduce their daily sodium intake - sodium is the main component of salt - to 1500 mg, equivalent to 3.8 grams of salt.
Previously, this was the recommended intake limit for high-risk people; The regular intake limit was originally 2300 mg of sodium, or 5.8 mg of salt. In a computer simulation that included data from the U.S. Census, the Centers for Disease Control and prevention, and other national studies, Dr. bibbins Domingo and her colleagues estimated the impact of a small reduction in Americans' daily salt intake - up to 3 mg a day - on adults aged 35 and over.
