Study: Men who consume too much salt experience faster memory loss

Men who consume more salt tend to experience faster deterioration of their memory, according to the findings of a new study.

The study findings show that a diet high in sodium is associated with a faster decline in so-called "episodic memory," that is, the ability to recall personal experiences and everyday life events.

Episodic memory is what helps us remember where we parked our car or important moments, such as the first day of school. The study, published in the scientific journal Neurobiology of Aging, highlights that dietary choices in general play an important role in maintaining the health of our brains.

Researchers followed 1,208 people for six years, looking at both their sodium intake and their cognitive function. The study results showed that men with high salt intake experienced faster deterioration in their memory.

Interestingly, the same link was not observed in women, suggesting that there may be gender differences in the effect of sodium on the brain./CNA
