Dieta y sodio (sal)

Efectos secundarios:

Demasiado sodio puede llevar a hipertensión arterial en aquellas personas sensibles a este elemento. Si usted sufre de hipertensión, el médico probablemente le recomendará que reduzca la ingesta de sodio (sal).

El sodio puede llevar a una acumulación grave de líquidos en personas con insuficiencia cardíaca congestiva, cirrosis o nefropatía. Dichas personas deben estar bajo una dieta con restricción estricta de sodio de la manera como lo prescriba el médico.
