If you often see a lot of hair scattered on the floor and if when you take a shower the amount of hair that falls out seems exaggerated, you need to be careful. In these cases, you probably have an unusual fall, which may be linked to some health and probably nutritional issue.
There are many causes of hair loss. However, what many don't know is that excess salt in food can be one of the factors that is influencing this. This is because the high consumption of this item accumulates sodium around the hair follicles, reducing the brightness and movement of the hair that ends up falling out. In addition, salt is rich in iodine, a substance that helps fight infections around the follicles and therefore causes hair loss.
According to the World Health Organization, the recommended intake of salt for a healthy diet is 5 grams per day. However, in Brazil most people consume a much larger amount, with an average of 12 grams daily, and this can be very harmful to health.
Salt is an ingredient that, when consumed in excess, can cause complications that are much more serious than hair loss, such as some chronic diseases. Therefore, this excess consumption can cause hypertension, heart problems, kidney diseases and cancer. Therefore, it is necessary to control the amount of salt placed in food, as well as look at labels of industrialized products to check the amount of sodium.
