The effect of salt on liver health

– Fluid retention

Excessive salt intake leads to fluid retention, which is a risk factor for liver health.

– Liver cirrhosis

Excessive consumption of this ingredient causes liver cirrhosis, especially in people who suffer from chronic liver disease.

– Hypertension

High blood pressure is one of the most dangerous factors for liver health, as it causes damage to small blood vessels in the liver, which impedes blood flow and reduces its ability to perform its functions.

American Heart Association warns

The American Heart Association (AHA) warns of the dangers of excessive salt consumption, recommending that an adult’s sodium consumption not exceed 2.3 grams per day, which is equivalent to 5.75 grams of salt, according to the “medicalnewstoday” website.

For people with heart failure, kidney disease, or liver disease, regularly consuming excessive amounts of salt may put them at risk for health problems.
