Salt impacts blood pressure and memory
A Japanese study has shown that consuming large amounts of salt affects memory and social behavior, linking these effects to increased blood pressure and a decline in memory performance and social interaction in mice. The study also revealed that a compound derived from soy, known as "LPC70," can mitigate these effects by improving blood pressure, memory performance, and social interaction in mice that consumed high levels of salt. The researchers confirmed that this compound appears to selectively interact with different chemical pathways in the kidneys and brain and may be foundational for developing functional food components in the future, while emphasizing that reducing sodium intake remains the most important advice for controlling blood pressure and reducing health risks.
