Can salt kill you?

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

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.

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?
