My taste is more savory, and I have a bit of gastritis in recent days. Is it caused by excessive salt intake?

    After ingesting excessive amounts of high-salt food, the osmotic pressure of table salt will cause direct damage to the gastric mucosa. High-salt foods will reduce the secretion of gastric acid and inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandin E2, and prostaglandin E2 has the effect of improving the resistance of the gastric mucosa, which makes the gastric mucosa vulnerable to gastritis or gastric ulcer.
