Salt is an antibiotic; it kills life! It is used as a preservative because it kills the bacteria(life) in the food to prevent the natural decomposing of that food. In the body, it is just as much a destroyer and killer of cells and life itself!
When salt in the form of sodium chloride enters the body, it draws water from the bloodstream, causing the body to send out an SOS signal that manifests itself in thirst. Why because the water helps dilute the salt concentration in order to help neutralize it's poisoning of the body.
Some physical problems caused by salt are hardening of the arteries, arthritis, ulcers, distorted vision and even blindness. It also causes high blood pressure and a multitude of other degenerative diseases.
Does the body have need for Sodium? Yes, but only in trace amounts and that sodium must be in an organic form for the body to be able to utilize it. Organic sodium occurs naturally in most all fruits and vegetables. The recommended maximum daily salt limit is 2400mg. One teaspoon of salt contains approximately 2300mg.
A low sodium diet will reduce the risk of hypertension and it's complications, liver problems and stomach ulcer
