One Consideration on Acclimatization toward Low Salt Diet

Characteristics in Respect of Age and Sex

Abstract

The number of days required for becoming used to 0.7% salt Misoshiru-fermented bean paste soup was studied in groups classified by age and sex.
The result obtained was as follows.
1) Seventy-six percent of the respondents needed about 10 days to become used to the 0.7% salt soup.
2) No distinction by age was observed in the length of time required for becoming used to low salt diet.
3) No distinction by sex was observed as well in becoming used to low salt diet.
4) The tendency seen in acclimatization was quite gradual as from “somewhat less salty than should be” to “optimal”.
