Swelling not only in legs: main signs of excessive salt consumption.

Ukrainians consume too much salt. According to studies, they add twice the WHO recommended norm of salt to dishes — 9.7 g instead of 5 g.

And excessive salt consumption is extremely harmful to the body.

Fluid retention in the body can lead to weight gain. If you've quickly gained extra pounds in a week or even a few days, remember: this could be related to excess salt.

Another signal is frequent trips to the bathroom. For excess sodium makes you very thirsty, you drink more water, and accordingly, you go to the toilet more often.
