Presiden Putin ke Khabib: Jika Kita Diserang, Kirim Mereka ke Neraka
HALAMAN SELANJUTNYA:
Dietary changes are important for Type 2 diabetics with compromised kidney function because specific foods can speed up damage. As you take steps to improve your health, one thing you may find yourself doing is reducing your sodium (salt) intake. You've heard many people worldwide are eating foods, especially processed foods sky-high in sodium and it's helping to bring about health issues such as hypertension, heart disease, and kidney disease. Consequently, you think the lower your salt intake, the better. But is this the case? Turns out that some sodium is beneficial for Type 2 diabetics. In fact, diabetics should never go without sodium altogether. Here's why... 1. Insulin Resistance. One fascinating point is it's been demonstrated low-sodium diets may be linked to insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is one of the hallmark traits of those with Type 2 diabetes and, as you might imagine, a very low-sodium diet could be somewhat negative. While the jury is still out on the insulin resistance connection being 100% accurate, it's important to note some findings are there. This doesn't mean you should load up on salt, but you may not want to cut it out completely. 2. Sodium May Not Determine Heart Disease Like We Thought. Right now, you probably have this equation in mind: high sodium diets = heart disease. But this isn't quite the case. While reducing your salt intake can lower blood pressure, remember there are many factors relating to heart disease. There are still many Type 2 diabetics who suffer from heart disease despite being on a low-sodium diet, so don't think going in this direction will automatically mean you can side-step heart disease. You need to take a multi-pronged approach to lower your risk-factor by lowering your blood sugar. 3. Sodium And Thyroid. Another reason to add salt? It plays a crucial role in thyroid function. More specifically, iodine is linked to the generation of the thyroid hormones which help to keep your entire metabolic rate optimized and where it needs to be. Those who are deficit in iodine are at a greater risk for thyroid disease, which can eventually lead to unwanted weight gain. 4. Sodium Is Necessary for Anyone Who Exercises. Finally, remember sodium is required for those who workout regularly. It will serve as an important electrolyte in your body, and when you sweat you'll be losing sodium quickly. If sodium is then not replenished, you can run into serious problems associated with hypernatremia. If not treated, this can become fatal. So don't be too quick to ban the salt shaker entirely from your table. While you don't want to be consuming too much, you do need to get some salt into the picture on a regular basis if you hope to optimize your health. Although managing your disease can be very challenging, Type 2 diabetes is not a condition you must just live with. You can make simple changes to your daily routine and lower both your weight and your blood sugar levels. Hang in there, the longer you do it, the easier it gets.
