Salt is a necessary evil. But if you go on a completely salt-free diet, it can kill you.

is salt healthy


How? 

Well, your body needs salt to balance fluids in the blood. Additionally, salt is necessary to maintain a healthy blood pressure and sustain nerve and muscle function. 

Now that does not mean digging too much into salt.

Because too much of salt can also kill you, making you prone to heart disease, hypertension, kidney disease, fluid retention, muscle cramps, and whatnot. 

So how much is too much when it comes to salt intake? Whtat is the recommended salt dosage?

5 grams of salt per day is more than enough. It equals less than 1 teaspoon.

Salt-less diet

A no-salt diet makes you prone to Hyponatremia , which is a condition that can lead to a series of side effects, from vimiting to nausea, muscle cramps, and dizziness. If that is not enough, a lack of salt can also cause coma and death.

Sounds scary, right?
