Something you, brothers, got it wrong. The rice diet is sometimes used as a low sodium diet, but does not excrete sodium by itself.
In general, the almost sodium-free rice diet was invented in 1939 for people with malignant hypertension. At that time, people could not live with malignant hypertension for more than six months, so they could sit on rice for a year.
This diet was high in rice and fruit, low in protein, and only 150 milligrams of sodium. This is with a calorie content of 2000 kilocalories. A very nasty and monotonous diet, but it actually lowered blood sodium levels and people lived longer. In the absence of other means, this was quite an option.
The traditional salt-free diet then contained 300 milligrams of sodium. That is, twice as much.
Rice was chosen only because it has a record low sodium content. Like fruit. Therefore, it was given along with the fruit.
Even now, I think rice is famous for being salt-resistant. Like it can be grown on salt marshes and feed a lot more hungry people that way.
So, in rice, sodium is three times less than in oats, so you can forget about oats.
Let's dwell on rice.
Taste
It is believed that a rice diet increases salt sensitivity. That is, if you persistently feed a person with rice, then his taste buds become more sensitive to salty taste, and such a person subsequently eats less sodium. This is useful for pressure.
Salt shaker
Or maybe people noticed rice added to transparent salt shakers. But there is a different role for him. It is generally accepted that rice absorbs water and, by its form, does not allow salt to cake. He dangles in the salt shaker like a rattle and mixes the salt. This way it spills out better on the plate. I don’t think it’s useful for pressure, but it’s done for convenience.
Have you tried not to eat salt?
