The human body needs a very small amount of salt.
Salt helps the body conduct nerve impulses.
Salt helps the body contract and relax muscles.
Salt helps the body maintain the proper balance of water and minerals.
On the contrary, too much salt in the diet can lead to the following:
High blood pressure
Heart disease
Stroke.
Most of us consume at least 1.5 tea-spoon of salt per day, which contains far more sodium than our bodies need. Suggested daily salt intake by health regulatory bodies and health experts should be half tea-spoon.
