Coronary Heart
Disease - Salt
The common people and most of the
doctors have a misunderstanding about salt intake. The common salt
that is sodium chloride is an important factor in our blood. If the
level of this particular stuff in blood is low then it has bad effects
on our brain. And therefore the level of this salt should be maintained
in the normal range. Moreover many of the blood pressure medicines
as well as heart medicines tend to throw out this factor out of the
body and on the top of it if the patient restricts the salt intake,
he ultimately lands in coma due to unacceptably low levels of this
factor. Of course it is not good to eat the salt in excess.
