Why ordinary salt should be replaced with iodized

Salt is consumed daily; it is included in the list of essential products. It would not be desirable to refuse it completely, but in cooking, preservation, pickling and pickling it is necessary. Regular salt and iodized are found on store shelves. They vary slightly in color and significantly in composition.

Alignment to European standards

In Russia, citizens are given the choice to buy iodized salt or bypass it. In European countries, its use is mandatory. The reason is simple. According to studies, the inhabitants of the continental part, remote from the sea coast, are diagnosed with a total lack of iodine in the body. This leads to a number of violations:

• distracted attention;
• unstable memory;
• violation of logical connections;
• disruptions in the endocrine system.

A micronutrient deficiency during pregnancy becomes the cause of the development of fetal pathologies. It is impossible to correct the situation after the birth of a child in some cases. In old age, iodine deficiency leads to rapid aging and impaired brain activity. Many people switch to the iodized version of the salt is hindered by the prejudices that exist among the population. It is believed that you can get the required amount of iodine, adhering to a certain diet. This is so, but on the condition that on the table daily there will be sea fish and seafood. Unfortunately, not everyone has such a menu available. The following objection is related to the specific flavor of the seasoning. But in the process of cooking, it disappears; potassium iodate is not felt in the blanks. Its amount is 40 mg. per kg., with the loss of part of the element in the process of heat treatment, there is still a sufficient amount necessary for the proper functioning of the body.

Important: it is impossible to get an overdose of iodine through salt.

Replacing regular salt with iodized salt is the most affordable and safe way to prevent its deficiency in the body. Pharmacy preparations contain much larger dosages, with uncontrolled use this leads to disruption of the thyroid gland. Advantages of using potassium iodate-enriched salt:

• does not require additional financial costs;
• dosage is already verified;
• the taste of dishes does not change;
• the risk of developing endocrine diseases is reduced;
• supported attention level and memory stability;
• metabolism accelerates;
• the work of the heart system and blood formation is regulated in a natural way.

A bag of iodized salt at a price does not differ much from the usual, no additional costs are required, and the body will be grateful for such care. By the way, additional dietary supplements are also not required, since the required amount of iodine will be present in the diet every day.
