SALT: Negative Impact On Health - Dr. Gary Sy

Salt is made up of around 40% sodium and 60% chloride. It’s commonly used to add flavor to foods or preserve them. Sodium is a mineral essential for optimal muscle and nerve function. Together with chloride , it also helps your body maintain proper water and mineral balance. But too much sodium in the diet can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. It can also cause calcium losses, some of which may be pulled from bone.
