How To Reduce Salt Craving

By Trevor Johnson

Overeating of salts gives rise to further craving for salts. However, you have to find ways to reduce salt craving. New researches are proving that over consumption of salt is bad for health. Either you might add more table salt or during the process of cooking. There are many reasons why you can get cravings for excess salt.

Some people consume a lot of salts just for the reason that they want to have a lot of minerals. And they think this can be obtained from natural salts. So with this wrong conception they eat a lot of table salt.

Now the question comes that why we need to reduce salt craving? The answer will be, to get rid of diseases like osteoporosis. These diseases happen when a person consumes a lot of salts and it badly affects the calcium level of our body.

Also, sometimes a huge salt addiction is a symptom of diabetes and high blood pressure. If a normal person consumes a lot of salt per day then he/she will surely get affected by high blood pressure and hypertension. So in this case you need to talk to a physician. You should also discuss your diet.

Most Americans have more then 5000 mg salts intake a day whereas the right amount should be less than 2500 mg a day. So this particular habit also gives rise to salt consumption urges. Now the question comes that how can a person reduce this habit.

Eating lots of vegetables, fruits, citrus foods like lemon, spicy foods can help you to reduce your salt craving. Also in this context, food having high vitamins and potassium can also help you to forget salty food. And don't forget to consult a doctor. And remember to check the labels or nutrition information of any processed food you buy. Sometimes salt is listed as sodium but you need to double the sodium value to get a good handle on the actual salt quantity if that's the case. - 17273
