    Eat salt in moderation, not as little as possible. If the intake of salt is excessively restricted for a long time, the serum sodium content will be too low, which will cause nerve and mental symptoms, loss of appetite, weakness of the limbs, dizziness, etc. In severe cases, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, accelerated heart rate, pulse Symptoms such as weakness, muscle cramps, blurred vision, and weakened reflexes are medically called "hyponatremia syndrome." Extreme salt limitation can reduce the volume of body fluids and increase the activity of the renin-angiotensin system and the sympathetic nervous system, which can lead to increased blood pressure in some patients.
