“Too much salt in the diet could accelerate cognitive aging and impair memory.”… 😨🧠 👇See the first comment 👇👀

A high intake of salt (sodium) could have unexpected effects on the brain, especially on memory.

According to a longitudinal study of more than 1,200 older adults, a high sodium intake is associated with a faster decline in episodic memory in men.

This type of memory allows us to remember personal events and situations we have experienced.

The researchers suggest that this effect may be related to biological mechanisms involving brain inflammation and impaired blood flow in the brain, two factors already associated with cognitive aging.
