Pregnant women who consume a lot of salt endanger the health of their unborn children. High-salt diets may result in cardiovascular diseases and are a leading cause of mortality globally.
A team of Chinese researchers employed a rat model to investigate the effects of a pregnant woman’s high-salt diet on her kids since daily salt consumption in China is still high. The group, from China’s Guangzhou Medical University’s Third Affiliated Hospital, has now published their findings in the journal Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinical Medicine.
According to the research, maternal high-salt diets can cause hypertension and cardiovascular diseases in the mother. They also cause high blood pressure and increase the likelihood that their kids may develop hypertension. Heart valve thickening, or cardiac fibrosis, often accompanies these disorders.
