Salt is a vital mineral for the human body, playing a key role in metabolism, nervous system, muscles, and water balance.
Doctors recommend a minimum daily intake of 1.4 grams for adults, with an upper limit of 3.8-6 grams (about one teaspoon).
Many people consume excessive salt. WHO warns that high salt intake can lead to high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, kidney strain, and stomach issues.
Salt is present not only in food but also in processed products. Monitoring diet is essential for health.
