Too much salt intake in one’s body can lead to serious consequences. Consuming a high amount of salt may lead to a rise in blood pressure in susceptible adults. To reduce the chances of hypertension and other health problems associated with consuming too much salt, limiting the amount of processed and restaurant foods you eat and never adding salt is an efficient approach. Nutritionists in Korea consistently express how the government must issue new dietary guidelines to cut salt consumption and fund research into alternatives for salt. New York is planning to cut salt intake by at least 20 percent in 5 years. It is part of an effort to prevent children from consuming ‘junk food’, which is blamed for the increasing rates of obesity and other illnesses among the young generation. A professor of medicine at the Medical College of Virginia, Dr. Daniel Jakubowcz, stated, “Most people are trying to reduce their salt intake in the morning to lose weight. However, if you curb them, you end up craving them more later throughout the day. Salt is a necessary and accepted part of the winter environment. We need salt to control our body temperature through sweat. 1-3 year old kids need 2 grams of salt a day; 4-6 year old kids need 3 grams; 7-10 year old kids need 5 grams; and 11 and over need 6 grams. On average, you only necessarily need about 4 grams of salt a day since humans need salt to help our bodies work well.” Without a doubt, the body does indeed need a certain amount of sodium – most of which we get from the salt content of our foods. Doctors say that for good health, we need to consume less than a quarter-teaspoon of salt a day.
