While sugar has long been associated with the development of diabetes, a new study highlights the role of salt in this health concern. High salt intake can disrupt insulin production and increase the risk of type 2 diabetes. Excessive salt consumption can lead to insulin resistance, a condition where your body can’t efficiently use insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. To maintain a healthy lifestyle, it’s crucial to monitor both your sugar and salt intake, as well as maintain a balanced diet and an active lifestyle to reduce the risk of diabetes.
