Too much salt intake increase obesity and inflammation risks



Too much salt intake increase obesity and inflammatory diseases risks in the adolescents, a study published in the journal Pediatrics has suggested. Consumption of sodium (salt) more than the recommended daily allowance may increase body fat deposition and inflammation. Chronic inflammation contributes to several diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus and other autoimmune disorders by release of immuno-modulatory factors.                                                                   

Eating fresh fruits and vegetables over processed foods and reducing diet salt could prevent these problems. Weight loss could be achieved by reducing the salt intake which control calorie intake and burning mechanisms.

Increased food consumption, particularly processed foods is associated with more sodium intake that increases obesity risk, the researchers concluded.
