Salt is one of the biggest enemies of health, especially for those who suffer from heart disease. A new study presented at the annual session of the American College of Cardiology, this April, reveals that most people who have this type of pathology abuse the amount of sodium they consume.

According to Medical News Today, 1,500 milligrams is the recommended amount of sodium. The study revealed that 89% of the participants consumed more than double that amount, around 3,096 milligrams.

The research included data from 3,170 participants in another study by the Center for Disease Control. The sample included men and women over 20 years old and diagnosed with a cardiovascular disease.

"Salt can increase the volume of blood in the cups, which can lead to increased blood pressure. This way, the heart has to work more, which puts it at risk of heart disease", cardiologist Jayne Morgan explains to Medical News Today.
