Boney Kapoor, the big Bollywood producer, was recently let off the hook for all blame over Sridevi’s death, the legendary Bollywood actress. Dubai police finally absolved him with a clean chit, dispelling any rumour of foul play involvement. Boney Kapoor has subsequently revealed some sob stories about the health issues confronting Sridevi, revealing why she might have died so senselessly.
Sridevi’s Strict Low-Salt Diet and Its Consequences
Boney Kapoor revealed that Sridevi’s strict low-salt diet might have contributed to her health issues. He explained that the actress was on a diet plan aimed at maintaining her physique, which led to her consuming very little salt. “The doctor kept on telling her ( Sridevi) that you have a low BP (blood pressure) issue, don’t stick to a severe diet where you avoid salt. Because most of the females believe that salt creates water retention that’s why your face is puffy. That is one reason why Sri used to avoid salt. We used to tell her that even if you are having some salad, just sprinkle some salt on it,” Boney Kapoor disclosed.
The Risks of Low Low-Salt Diet
Whereas salt is widely blamed for blood pressure and water retention, eliminating it from the diet may also be dangerous. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that daily salt consumption should be around five grams. Sodium deficiency can cause serious health issues, such as coma.
Even though sodium is one of the required electrolytes necessary to maintain a balance of body fluids, the lack of adequate intake can also be as lethal as overuse.
Health Risks Associated with Low Sodium Intake
One of the most concerning threats posed by a low-sodium diet is heart failure. Health specialists, such as Healthline, indicate that heart failure happens when the heart fails to pump a sufficient amount of blood to cater to the needs of the body.
Although this does not indicate that the heart has ceased functioning, it is nevertheless a grave condition. Interestingly, research indicates that low-sodium diets have been shown to cause an elevated death rate in those already experiencing heart failure.
