Salt is a key mineral the body needs to regulate fluid balance, help with muscle contraction and nerve regulation. It also enhances the flavor of food and acts as a preservative, which is why it’s found in everything from deli meats to condiments.
Too much sodium is linked to high blood pressure and heart disease, which is why The American Heart Association recommends no more than 2,300mg a day and even cutting back further toward an ideal limit of no more than 1,500mg a day for most adults.
