Salt- a redundant constituent of food
Dear friends,
Let us discuss about Salt which is a redundant constituent of our food.
If we consider sugar as a sweet poison then salt is also considered as a mineral poison. The intake of salt with food causes untoward effects in the body and to eliminate it the kidneys have to labour. If the excessive intake of salt continues, the kidneys become weak and damaged and sometimes they fail in their work.
We know that salt is essential constituent for taste and thats true but excessive consumption of salt proves to be detrimental to health. Because of the popular belief that food cannot be cooked without salt, there is hardly an item in our diet which is saltless. In fact, according to one expert physician, salt is not at all necessary for either life or health. In other words of him, there is no physiological need for salt. More and more dieticians and physicians have now begun to concede that salt is one of the causes of diseases which man suffers from. Excess salt, it is claimed causes improper Calcium absorption. Here is a list of various conditions or illnesses said to be caused by salt:
headache, insomia, migraine, heart disease, hives, kidney ailments, dropsy, cirrhosis of the liver, cold, sinus conditions, hearing problems, epilepsy, rheumatism and obesity. Many medical experts and other authorities have pointed to salt as a factor in the causation of cancer.
The human body requires two grains of salt per day and that can be obtained from only 50 grams of vegetables. A diet containing vegetables and fruits supplies sufficient natural salt to the body and no additional salt is required.
Salt has more disadvantages than advantages. A labourer, however, might need additional salt to replace the salts lost in perspiration. If he takes no additional salt, he may suffer from bodyache, muscular cramps and exhaustion.
