(8 years ago)If you have a rich salt regime, know that you are not doing your brain any favors! Salt particles have long proved to be no less harmful than sugar, but new studies have proved that excessive salt in the organism negatively affects cardiovascular health. Study published in the magazine [...]
The study, published in Nature Neuroscience magazine, revealed that rats who were fed on a diet rich in salts showed signs of a decline in mental and cognitive performance.
The reason was that their brains were not supplied enough blood. Salt also increases the coloring of intercococotine 17, an inflammatory substance that can change chemical signals to brain blood vessels.
Dr. Dr Costatino Iadecola, director of the Fair Family Brain and Mind Research Institute, told ABC Australia:
After about three months of salt food, rats lost much of their cognitive skills, beginning with simple objects, solving mazes or interacting skills with other mice. These characteristics would be translated into people's degeneracy disease”. Source Layer: The Independent
