Salt is a mineral composed primarily of sodium chloride. Sodium in salt is an essential nutrient for the body’s nutrient absorption, muscle movement, nerve transmission, cardiopulmonary function, and metabolism. Salt makes up about 0.5% of the body weight. Salt is broken down into sodium and chloride ions. Sodium maintains intracellular and extracellular fluid balance and helps regulate nerve and muscle function.
If you don’t consume salt for a week, it can lead to an early grave, coma, and shock. But I’m not sure most of you can consume your food without salt. It won’t even attract you. As I mentioned earlier, salt is one of the most important minerals we use in our daily life, but if you don’t eat it for a week, it can lead to several disadvantages. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommended sodium intake for adults is 2 grams per day, which is equivalent to 5 grams of salt.
However, excessive salt consumption can result in high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. You should also try to limit your intake of salt, but don’t try to go for a week without eating salt. You should eat salt at least 5 times per week rather than not at all.
