Salt.....A Miracle

Salt is an important ingredient in our diet as it plays a vital role in water retention, muscle contraction, and contains nutrients that are vital to the digestive system. Too little sodium in the body can result in dehydration because the cells are unable to retain water. On the other hand, too much sodium in one’s diet from salty foods may increase the risk of high blood pressure. So the primary question is -

How much salt is too much for your body?

Rock salt is superior to table salt because of its high quantities of minerals and also lack of chemicals and additives. However, it is coarse to touch and also does not mix in food easily as table salt. Hence, people use latter than the rock salt. Now a days, due to pollution that are flushed into sea water, quality of rock salt is questionable. This results in using refined salt.
Good quality rock salt can be obtained from certain places. This has many health benefits and also helps in treating many disorders. The following are some health benefits of rock salt :

·         This salt kills  bacteria which is present in the airway and aid in removal of mucus present.
