Salt and anti-aging

抄録

In my research of the link between healthy living habits and longevity, one of the key issues is salt. We have long heard that too much salt can be bad for our health. AMA has publicly come out against excessive sodium consumption and salt in particular but now, researchers have found that low levels of chloride, a component found in salt, could actually increase the risk of mortality and heart disease in those suffering from hypertension. While it is always emphasized the quantity of salt for health benefits I found it as equally important to discuss the quality of salt related to health. The issue is that not all sources of sodium and salt are the same. As far as the body is concerned, there is no connection between the chemically-cleansed sodium chloride table salt, which is added to virtually every processed food you buy, and the mineral rich organic sea salt. In fact, full spectrum mineral sea salt is essential for life. In my presentation I want to show my opinion over the debate on salt intake issue and also present the latest research on this theme along with my recently published book on Wajima sea salt titled “Karada to kokoro ga yorokobu shio erabi & gochiso shio recipe” (Choosing salt that benefits the body and soul & delicious salt recipes).
