The Salt Myth - Less Salt Isn’t Always Better
Salt not only enhances the flavor of the foods we eat and we cook, it is also essential for regulating important processes in the body such as controlling blood pressure and it is an essential electrolyte that helps the brain and nerves send electrical impulses throughout the body.
In large amounts, salt can bind water in the bloodstream and raise blood pressure, so many health organizations recommend that people limit salt intake. Yet, low sodium levels can cause health problems as well.
