Too Much Salt Can Lead To Alzheimer's
Science has revealed more reasons why you should cut back on salt. Research has shown consuming too much salt and being inactive may be at risk not only for heart disease but also cognitive decline, particularly in older adults. More from USA Today:
Canadian researchers studied the salt intake and physical activity levels of 1,262 healthy men and women ages 67 to 84 over three years and found those with the highest levels of sodium (3,091 milligrams a day and greater) and the lowest levels of exercise tended to show poorer cognitive performance than those with a low sodium intake and an active lifestyle.
The findings were published in the journal Neurobiology of Aging.
