How about the salt water detox method

As people pay more attention to health-preserving methods, many methods have emerged. Currently, the most popular method is the salt water detoxification method, which has the specific effect of detoxifying and beautifying. After this method became known to people, many people were eager to try it. After all, salt water is used in daily dishes, and there are no adverse reactions. Is this true? Let’s learn about the salt water detoxification method.

Rumor: Drinking 500ml of light salt water on an empty stomach after waking up can detoxify.

Recently, Ms. Chen, a health expert, has been trying a new detoxification and beauty method - drinking salt water early in the morning. She drinks 500ml of light salt water on an empty stomach in one breath every morning after getting up.

But this statement is actually unscientific and unhealthy. Li Xiaowei, chief physician of the Department of Cardiology at Bayi Hospital, pointed out that drinking salt water on an empty stomach after getting up in the morning can

This may lead to high blood pressure and pose certain health risks.

In fact, under normal physiological conditions, the human body's demand for salt is very small, only 4 to 6 grams per day, which can be fully met by daily diet. It is only necessary to drink light salt water when you sweat a lot or have other special needs. Sometimes, gargling with light salt water is an effective method to disinfect the mouth or relieve sore throat. But these are not the same as drinking light salt water, so there is no need to develop the habit of drinking light salt water, and it is also unnecessary to drink light salt water on an empty stomach in the morning.

So, what would happen if you drank light salt water every morning?

Anyone who increases their salt intake may have higher blood pressure. For healthy people, the increase may not cause blood pressure to exceed normal values. But for patients with hypertension or other diseases accompanied by hypertension (such as diabetes), it may make the situation worse and cause fluctuations in their condition. Take heart patients as an example. Since blood viscosity is the highest in the morning and blood pressure also reaches the first peak, this time period is also the most dangerous period for fluctuations in the disease. If you drink light salt water in the morning for a long time, it will undoubtedly increase your blood pressure and may cause a series of diseases.

The above is an introduction to the salt water detoxification method. To sum up, it is not difficult to see that the salt water detoxification method is effective, especially for cleaning the stomach and intestines. However, if it is used on an empty stomach, it will still have an impact on health and will not have the effect of maintaining health. Therefore, if you want to achieve the health benefits, you should start with your diet and avoid using the salt water detoxification method.
