Is salt really bad? 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.  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? Which is better black or pink Himalayan salt?

I dedicate this video to my mother-in-law, who has taught me some simple ways to ferment rice with and without curd.  The idea is to cook rice in water, primarily you will need to boil rice in a lot of water. Drain off excess water and let the rice come to room temperature. Then mix it with curd, salt, and water and store in an earthen clay pot. Since we want to ferment rice, the idea is to leave it overnight at room temperature - ideally in a cool location, which is not too hot.  By next morning, the rice should have fermented - teeming with colonies of healthy bacteria. If you use brown rice or usuna chawl (or
