HISTORY OF SALT
Salt has been an essential element of human and animal diet for centuries. Salt served as a currency in many countries, and people literally got into fights over it. In the Middle Ages, it was sometimes called “white gold” because it was incredibly expensive. Salt has been such an important part of life it has a big place in literature and culture of many nations. It is still a tradition to greet guests with bread and salt in many countries. Some popular cities would not be what they are without salt. Venice, for example, became economically developed thanks to its salt monopoly. Salzburg, which we know as the city of Mozart and “The Sound of Music” translates from German as “salt castle.” There, salt mines were turned into tourist attractions.

If you eat too much salt, the extra water stored in your body raises your blood pressure. So, the more salt you eat, the higher your blood pressure. The higher your blood pressure, the greater the strain on your heart, arteries, kidneys and brain. This can lead to heart attacks, strokes, dementia and kidney disease.

It's crazy how easy it is to have a high sodium diet. It takes no effort. Lately, I only season my food with both fresh and granulated onions and garlic, in addition to a few herbs/spices. I'm pleasantly surprised at how good my food's been tasting.

One thing to watch if reducing your salt consumption is iodine levels. Iodine is rare in the common diet and you really need to watch it. For many, about the only source of iodine is iodised salt. So yes, reduce your sodium intake, if it is too high, but watch your iodine intake. You only need small amounts but it is essential.

When researchers put people on an extremely low salt diet it actually made them more thirsty so im not sure thirst is the best indicator.

The average salt intake 150 years ago was much higher from salted meats yet heart disease much lower. Hmmm sugar is the real enemy

The importance of salt long time ago was not because of high consumption. It was because salt was used a lot to preserve foods (no refrigerators!). I once lived in an old house and there was a specially crafted brick container in the basement. People back then used it to stack meat in it between layers of salt. And they rinced the meat before use.

Not enough salt is deadly. I know. I almost lost my father because his doctor put him on a low to no sodium diet. Salt helps keep your body hydrated. Balance is always best.

Never explained how a craving for junk food means you eating too much salt when really the craving can be explained by salt deficiency. The human body has an amazing ability to self regulate by making you crave salt when you need it and remove it using the kidneys when here’s too much. In study’s men were able to urinate 86 grams of salt in a day

[MrPerfume]

I avoided salt due concern for my kidney. Now being a keto diet, i decided to up my salt to 12grams. i feel wonderful and clearheaded! Guess we on keto need more.

Every day for the past month i've been waking up in the middle of the night. Even when I wake up I feel tired and drowsy. I can't focus. I gotta stop eating out.

Actualy salt works against cramps. Absence of salt in diet causes more problems than slight overdose. Also salt helps to keep water in body and blood.
