New discovery: Eating salty foods helps reduce thirst!

Eating salty foods increases hunger because at this time the body's energy needs are higher.

We have long thought that eating salty foods will make us thirsty. However, a study published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation gave surprising results: salty foods actually… reduce thirst but increase hunger because the body's energy needs are higher at this time.

During the study, scientists at the Delbrucke Medical Center in Germany found that initially salty foods increased thirst, but in the long run, people who ate salty foods drank less water and complained of hunger.

The reason, according to German scientists, is that salt sets up a water retention mechanism in the kidneys.

Research shows that salt stays in the urine while water moves back into the kidneys and body. The process of eliminating salt uses a lot of energy, making the body hungry.

Therefore, reducing the amount of salt absorbed each day can significantly reduce the risk of hunger as well as reduce the risk of other diseases such as high blood pressure, heart attack, atherosclerosis, stroke and kidney failure.

One of the easiest ways to reduce salt intake is to cook blandly and over time you will find yourself craving less salt.
