The famous doctor and TV presenter Alexander Myasnikov named the category of people who should reduce the amount of salt they consume.

According to the doctor’s recommendation, people over the age of 50 with high blood pressure should be especially careful about the amount of salt they consume. According to the expert, with such a diagnosis, the accepted norm is three grams per day.

He explained this by the fact that in the world of modern gastronomy, about 70% of salt, which averages about ten grams per day, is obtained from sausage products, bread and first dishes.

At the same time, the doctor noted that exceeding the five-gram mark is fraught with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
