Balance is Key

Balance is Key

Balance is the key to many things in life but is especially true when it comes to cooking, diet and health.

The current salt intake in various industrialised populations exceeds recommended levels which increases the risk of blood pressure. In addition, the present dietary intakes of potassium and magnesium are lower than the recommended intake in these populations (1).

Sodium is an essential mineral but our modern diets just contain too much. It is known that reducing sodium intake can contribute to the maintenance of normal blood pressure. 

 “Cut Out Salt” is really a plea to re-align mineral intakes to get the balance right – to cut down on salt but increase other minerals including potassium and magnesium.  Few foods provide sufficient magnesium or potassium to balance the sodium from added salt in our diets (2-4)

Large, dietary intervention studies have shown that overall a diet that contains more magnesium, potassium and calcium can reduce high blood pressure (5)

One way to change the mineral balance of foods we make at home, eat at restaurants or buy from the supermarket is to use Suölo® Reduced Sodium Sea Salt products where the secret to great taste with well-being is the balance of ingredients.
