Salt is good for your health. You need it to maintain nerve function, otherwise your body will fail. Like other things, too much salt may be bad, but a small amount of salt/sodium is essential for your body

Try SuperSalt. It’s low in sodium but tastes salty and has the beneficial minerals that a good salt should have.

The “lower intake of salt” publicity should be moderated. Too low intake of salt causes health issues, imbalance of electrolytes. As much as the program was interesting, apart from saying that with no salt you die, there wasn’t much said how important it is to intake a balance amount of good salt with good minerals, and how it’s essential for balanced amount of electrolytes in the body. “The world average” is not everybody.

is anyone really at the risk of having too little salt? but I agree, they should talk about the importance of having SOME salt.

What percentage of ancient cave people died because of not throwing salt into their food? Almost none I suspect.
