Tag: Salt intolerance

Approximately one-third of healthy individuals are salt-sensitive, meaning their blood pressure responds significantly to changes in dietary salt intake. This condition raises the question: can your body be sensitive to sodium, and what does that mean for your health?

According to research published in the journal *Physiology & Behavior*, prolonged changes to your dietary habits can modify your perception of salt, reducing your preference for it over time. This neuro-adaptability in your taste perception may provide a physiological explanation for why you can't tolerate salty food anymore.
