A NAS Diet or no added salt diet is exactly that. These types of diets are particularly important to people suffering from liver disease as the restriction of Sodium Chloride (salt) is of the utmost importance in combating excessive fluid retention. The average diet consists of around 6 grams of salt per day but an average of 2.5 is recommended in the effective aid of fluid retention. Excess sodium has also been linked to Heart disease and arterial problems and anyone suffering heart related issues may also be refer ed to a NAS diet plan.
