Real Salt

 

Not all salt is bad for you; in fact, salt is essential for many bodily functions. The key lies in moderation and the type of salt consumed.

The Role of Salt:

  • Sodium (a component of salt) helps maintain fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contractions.

  • The body needs a certain amount of sodium daily, typically around 500 mg, to function properly.

Health Risks of Excessive Salt Intake:

  • High sodium intake can lead to high blood pressure, which increases the risk of heart disease and stroke.

  • Excessive salt can also lead to fluid retention, which may cause bloating and contribute to conditions like kidney disease.

Table salt is highly refined and often contains anti-caking agents. Sea salt is less processed and retains trace minerals, but it still contains sodium and should be used in moderation.
