2.鈉是鹽的重要成分,有跡象表明它會使血壓升高,進而增加心髒病發作的風險,但至於高鈉飲食是否真的會增加心髒相關疾病發作的風險,各種研究結果卻是說法不一。
Sodium, a major component of salt, could cause high blood pressure which increases the risk of heart attack. However study results still vary in terms of whether or not high sodium diet is definitely linked to heart related diseases.
