Effects of high sodium intake: How a high salt diet leads to poor health via the gut microbiome

There are many negative effects of a high sodium intake to your body, but most people assume it's just about blood pressure. And while having healthy blood pressure is critical to living a long & healthy life, there are other problems to deal with from a high salt diet as well. The gut microbiome is increasingly seen as an important part of our overall health and wellbeing. While it wears many hats, the way that it helps control the immune system has relevance in many inflammatory conditions that haunt us as we get older. This includes cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, autoimmune disease, dementia, and yes, hypertension. A lot of research has uncovered how what we eat drives our risk of chronic disease. Nutrition is the cornerstone to a healthy lifestyle, and plays an incredibly important role in shaping our microbiome. While many people look at things like carbohydrates, the different types of fats, and protein, very few people look at their salt intake. In today's video we discuss how chronic high sodium intake negatively affects the gut microbiome and increases our risk of inflammatory disease. While these negative effects may lead to high blood pressure, they may lead to other disease you don't want as well. Enjoy!
