Food alone is not enough for good health. The body also needs water in a proper way. An adult should drink at least two liters of water a day. If you don’t drink enough water, your body will face many problems.
Dehydration can lead to elevated serum sodium levels, which can lead to metabolic syndrome and premature death. The new discovery is in the research conducted by the National Institutes of Health in America.
High serum sodium increases the risk of respiratory disease and heart disease. A serum sodium level above 142 increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, coronary artery disease, lung disease, diabetes, and dementia. Researchers also say that if serum sodium is maintained at a level of 138-140, the risk of kidney diseases is low.
