Excessive Salt Intake: Expert Reveals How to Season Healthier Without Sacrificing Flavor
Hamburg, Germany – A leading expert is urging a re-evaluation of salt consumption in modern diets, citing imbalances created by the food industry and offering potassium-rich alternatives to protect long-term health. Dr. Matthias Riedl, founder and head of Medicum Hamburg – Europe’s largest centre for diabetology and nutritional medicine – explains that a more conscious approach to seasoning can sustainably improve well-being.
Dr. Riedl, an internist, nutritionist, and diabetologist who studied medicine at the University of Hamburg and specialized in internal and nutritional medicine, established Medicum Hamburg in 2008. He notes that while salt is essential, the current food landscape has disrupted a natural balance. By intentionally incorporating potassium-rich foods and mindful seasoning practices, individuals can maintain enjoyable flavors while safeguarding their health.
According to Dr. Riedl, a shift towards conscious seasoning and potassium-rich alternatives isn’t just about taste-it’s a proactive step towards sustainable health protection.
