High sodium intake increases blood pressure and risk of kidney disease. From the Science of Salt: A regularly updated systematic review of salt and health outcomes (August 2016 to March 2017)
Individuals fond of consuming salty foods may have a high tendency to suffer from hypertension and kidney disease.
This study ascertained whether high dietary intake of salty foods favors the development of hypertension and kidney disease. Researchers conducted a meticulous meta-analysis on data and evidence drawn out from 47 studies.
Researchers noted that hypertension and kidney disease were prevalent among study participants on a high salt diet. This meta-analysis corroborated the results of other studies that found a strong link between devout consumption of salty foods and increased incidence of hypertension and kidney disease.
