It so happened that for many centuries in our diet salty food prevails. Since ancient times, people to save for the winter meat and vegetables have learned to salted them. Yes, and itself, the original Russian word "raznosoly", expresses our love for the salt.
In the present times, we do not need to grease foods to provide ourselves with food for the winter. In any supermarket, even in the middle of the winter, you can find the right product that you will be brought from across the sea. But the traditions take their own, and we still can not refuse ourselves the pleasure of eating crispy salted cucumbers, herring, marinated mushrooms ... Especially often we eat them for dinner. And then, in the morning, we can not fasten our favorite jeans, and the face looks wrinkled and swollen. And all this is due to the fact that using a large amount of sodium (11-16 g - this daily norm of an adult person), we prevent the body from extracting excess fluid and products of cell metabolism. This leads to accumulation of fluid under the skin, which leads to its swelling.
In such cases, we recommend that you try a salt-free diet. Positive reviews about it leave all dieticians and doctors. When pregnancy is also prescribed a salt-free diet, but in this case, the diet of a woman is a doctor (the complete elimination of sodium from the body of a pregnant woman can adversely affect her health). A salt-free diet is recommended for people with cardiovascular and excretory diseases.
