Eat foods rich in potassium if you eat salty

Eat foods rich in potassium if you eat salty

Getting a little more salt in your diet isn’t a big deal, contrary to what one thinks. Salt does not cause hypertension and a fairly recent study of the French population found no link between salt consumption and chronic high blood pressure problems  . Eating less salty to reduce cellulite may also be wrong advice. If you notice or suspect that you are eating too much salty, you could simply try two things:
– Try drinking more water , even in the form of tea, milk, unsweetened juices.
– eat foods rich in potassium. 
In fact, salt and potassium are two mineral salts that must be balanced through nutrition:in this way you can make sure you have a good blood pressure, because, if in fact it is not said that taking a little more salt causes high blood pressure, it is known that potassium lowers the pressure, but not only. Balancing the diet with foods rich in potassium not only helps us from a cardiovascular point of view, but also has a positive effect against water retention and capillary fragility.
So if we suspect that we are not controlling salt enough (because we eat out often or in a disorderly fashion), drinking a little more to help the body work off excess salt and balancing the diet with potassium are two effective strategies. to improve our health. We benefit from the fact that potassium-rich foods are very common:fruits and vegetables should be consumed more , both in raw and cooked form and through centrifuged; we can eat an extra weekly portion of legumes if they are well tolerated and in moderation take oil seeds, the so-called dried fruit (almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, pistachios), seeds and dehydrated fruit. I say in moderation because of their high calorie content and, in the case of dehydrated fruit, sugar.
Apart from bananas and potatoes, which have an average content of potassium but not very high, in reality, among the foods rich in potassiumin fact we find beans, broad beans, chickpeas and lentils (dried legumes), dates, raisins, plums, dried figs, and then almonds, spinach, avocado, chestnuts and mushrooms. But above all fish: anchovies in oil, cod, red snapper.
