Only 3 grams (half a teaspoon or 2.5 mL) of salt less per day and almost 100,000 lives could be saved. This is comparable to reducing major problems, such as obesity, smoking, and other well-known health issues. If everyone in the USAf reduced their salt intake by half a teaspoon per day, we could prevent 12,000 cases of coronary heart disease from starting. We could stop 66,00 strokes and 99,00 heart attacks.
Also, the money saved would help enlarge and improve the healthcare system. It would save health problems anywhere between 10 billion dollars and 24 billion dollars annually. If all the people in the USA stopped eating too much salt or lowered their salt ingestion by just half a teaspoon per day for one year, it would be just as significant as if the smoking rate declined 50 percent and the level of obesity in all American adults went down 5 percent. Even if the change was not so dramatic and only 1 state lessened their salt intake, it would significantly reduce the cases of strokes and heart attacks over time. Despite all these warnings about one’s salt intake, salt is actually becoming more and more popular and more and more of a danger.
Although the study was geared toward Americans, it is also quite applicable to Canadians’ health care as well.
How many salts Should You Have in a Day?
