Salts are neutral ionic compounds composed of positively charged ions (‘cations’; e.g., calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium) and negatively charged ions (‘anions’; e.g., bicarbonate, carbonate, chloride, nitrate, sulfate). About 75 to 90 percent of our sodium intake comes from salt.
Salt provides an essential mineral (sodium) that our bodies use for functions such as maintaining blood pressure, balance the fluids in the blood and absorbing nutrients. But excessive sodium intake is linked to water retention, and it is also a risk factor for high blood pressure. These are major risk factors for developing heart failure, A high intake of sodium can increase the risks of having heart diseases including cardiac failure.

Benefits of a Low-Sodium Diet
Salt intake of less than 5 grams per day for adults helps to reduce blood pressure and risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and coronary heart attack. The principal benefit of lowering salt intake is a corresponding reduction in high blood pressure.
Salt provides an essential mineral (sodium) that our bodies use for functions such as maintaining blood pressure, balance the fluids in the blood and absorbing nutrients. But excessive sodium intake is linked to water retention. Low sodium diet will assist to alleviate this problem.
Reducing sodium can also help to prevent the collection of fluid in the lower legs or abdomen. People with chronic kidney disease and heart failure must control sodium intake to prevent volume overload, which increases blood pressure and causes swelling.
In conclusion, Low Salt, Low Sodium equals Proven Health Benefits
