Salt has many benefits, but pay attention to dosage when using it.

Salt gives flavor to food but eating too much salt can lead to health problems.

Salt is a popular seasoning all over the world. Salt enhances flavor, helps preserve food, and supports bodily functions. The sodium in salt plays an important role in maintaining fluid levels in the body, keeping the heart, liver, and kidneys working in sync.

However, eating too much salt is harmful to the body, especially in people with heart disease.

Adults should not consume more than 5 grams of salt per day.

Reducing salt intake is important for people with heart disease or high blood pressure. Consuming too much salt can lead to fluid retention, which puts strain on the heart and increases the risk of heart failure.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), consuming too much sodium and too little potassium contributes to high blood pressure, which increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. To reduce these health risks, adults should consume no more than 5 grams of salt per day.
