As an editor, I inform you about the impact of potassium salt in cooking. Researchers from Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar, under the direction of Professor Serigne Omar Sarr, have studied its effects on health. They found that potassium salt could improve cardiovascular health if consumed moderately, but excessive use could cause serious health problems.
Researchers from the Faculty of Medicine, Pharmacy and Dentistry at Ucad also recommend the use of dietary salts to reduce sodium consumption. These alternatives are available at pharmacies and supermarkets and promise to maintain flavor while reducing sodium. However, they warn that the use of potassium salt should be careful, especially for people with heart failure, kidney failure or diabetes.
They emphasize the importance of consulting a healthcare professional and following advice on product labeling. They also emphasize the role of manufacturers in educating consumers through packaging and labeling. Finally, the researchers specify that certain products are not suitable for diets low in potassium.
The study methodology included a literature review, field studies and nutritional analyses. The products analyzed mainly included La Baleine, Équilibre de Cérébos, Fitsalt de Marnys and Bouillet de Vitaflor, all available in pharmacies and supermarkets.
