Over the past century, salt has been the subject of intense scientific research related to elevated blood pressure and cardiovascular mortality. A moderate reduction in dietary salt intake is usually an effective measure to reduce blood pressure. However, recently, some members of academic society and secular media have disputed the benefits of salt restriction, pointing to inconsistent results noted in some observational studies. A reduction in dietary salt from the current intake of 9-12 g / day to the recommended level of less than 5-6 g / day will have major beneficial effects on cardiovascular health as well as significant savings in health costs in the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) has strongly recommended reducing the consumption of dietary salt as one of the priority actions to tackle the global crisis of noncommunicable diseases and urged member states to take measures to reduce the consumption of dietary salt at the population level to reduce the number of deaths from hypertension, cardiovascular disease and stroke. However, some scientists are still advocating the possibility of an increased risk of CVD morbidity and mortality at the extremes of low salt intake. Future research may shed light on optimal sodium reduction strategies and consumption targets for the general population. Until then, we must continue to build consensus on the greatest benefits of salt reduction for the prevention of CVD, and strategies to reduce dietary salt intake must remain at the top of the agenda. public health.
