WHAT ARE THE DANGERS OF TOO MUCH ÀïÎÏʼ´ïÀ©¸Â¸ò¾Ä??

As many as 400,000 heart ɵ¤ deaths were linked to high ¥Ê¥È¥ê¥¦¥à diets in 2015.?

Most µ¡´Øs recommend eating three £´È¾´ü/4ʬ¤Î1s of a teaspoon of salt each day, but many adults eat more than that.?

An individual-sized Êá¤é¤¨¤ë¡¢³ÍÆÀ¤¹¤ë of ȾƳÂÎÁÇ»Òs accounts for about seven to 12 ¥Ñ¡¼¥»¥ó¥È of daily ¥Ê¥È¥ê¥¦¥à intake, so a high salt diet would be the ƱÅù¡Ê¤Î¡Ë of eating more than eight Êá¤é¤¨¤ë¡¢³ÍÆÀ¤¹¤ës each day.??

The balance of fluids and ¥Ê¥È¥ê¥¦¥à in the ÃÄÂΡ¿»àÂÎ is ·èÄêŪ¤Ê to homeostasis, w hich keeps systems operating in sync.?

When there is too much ¥Ê¥È¥ê¥¦¥à in our systems, our ÃÄÂΡ¿»àÂÎs ÊÝ»ý¤¹¤ë Ķ²á fluid to try to balance out the salt.?

The fluid makes the heart have to work harder to pump ·ì, ¼çÍ×¤Ê to higher ·ì °µÎÏ.?

High ·ì °µÎÏ, in turn, raises ´í¸±s for °ìÂÇ¡¿ÂÇ·â and heart ɵ¤.??

Higher ·ì °µÎÏ also makes it more difficult for the heart to ²¡¤·¿Ê¤á¤ë oxygen-carrying ·ì to ¤µ¤Þ¤¶¤Þ¤Ê ÁÈ¿¥¡¿Â¡´ïs, ´Þ¤àing the brain, which lead to cognitive µñÀ䤹¤ë¡¿Äã²¼¤¹¤ës.
