Shocking! Study Reveals High Salt Intake Increases Diabetes Risk; Other Risk Factors
A new study has found that high salt intake increases the risk of diabetes.
The moment you hear of diabetes you tend to relate it with sugar. But have you ever heard of high salt intake leading to increased diabetes risk?
Well, this could be surprising for most of us. But yes, it is true. A new study has found that high salt intake increases the risk of diabetes.
During the study, researchers from the Institute of Environmental Medicine (IMM), Karolinska Institute in Sweden found that people who consumed more than 7.3gm salt a day showed a 72 per cent increased risk of diabetes compared to those who consumed below 6gm.
According to the findings of the study, for each 2.5 extra grams of salt consumed per day, there was an average 43 per cent increase in the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
This is not all, the study further found that higher salt intake was also linked with a high risk of developing Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA), a form of Type 1 diabetes in which the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas are destroyed by the body's own immune system.
The study was presented at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) 2017 in Lisbon.
Meanwhile, also learn about the other major risk factors for diabetes here.
Family
History:
If
any
one
in
the
family
is
suffering
from
diabetes
than
there
are
high
chances
of
getting
it
passed
on
to
the
generations.
Obesity:
If
you
are
obese
then
there
are
higher
chances
of
developing
Type
2
diabetes.
This
is
because
of
the
added
pressure
on
the
body's
ability
to
use
insulin
to
properly
control
the
blood
sugar
levels.
Lack
Of
Sleep:
Sleep
is
very
important
in
order
to
maintain
the
blood
sugar
level.
Lack
of
sleep
raises
the
level
of
blood
sugar
and
insulin
resistance.
Lack
Of
Exercise:
If
you
are
a
diabetic,
there
is
too
much
of
glucose
production
and
the
body
fails
to
produce
adequate
insulin
to
process
it.
In
such
cases
regular
exercise
helps
to
reduce
the
glucose
level
in
the
body.
Hence,
lack
of
exercise
can
pose
risky
for
developing
Type
2
diabetes.
Stress:
Stress
is
yet
another
risk
factor
for
developing
diabetes.
The
stress
hormones
directly
affects
the
glucose
level.
The
blood
sugar
level
increases
due
to
stress.
