Dr. Dinh Tran Ngoc Mai, Department of Nutrition - Dietetics, University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, answered: Drinking salt water every day is not good for health, especially for people with kidney disease or high blood pressure.
The idea that drinking salt water every day can improve health, especially for people with kidney disease or high blood pressure, is incorrect and can be harmful.
Excess sodium (salt) in the body can cause many serious problems. Sodium in salt has the ability to retain water, causing the body to retain more water, thereby increasing the pressure of blood on the blood vessel walls, causing high blood pressure. This is especially dangerous for people with a history of high blood pressure or kidney disease.
Your kidneys filter and remove waste products, including sodium. When you consume too much salt, your kidneys have to work overtime to remove the excess sodium. This can lead to kidney damage, especially in people who already have kidney disease. Sodium retains water in the body, leading to swelling in the legs, hands, or face.
Drinking salt water too often can disrupt the electrolyte balance in the body, leading to symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, nausea and in severe cases can lead to seizures.
Therefore, the view that drinking salt water every day to improve health, especially for people with kidney disease or high blood pressure, is incorrect and can be harmful.
It is best to consult your doctor or health professional before undertaking any health related diet or drinking regimen.
