Is salt good or bad?
Because salt is supposed to elevate blood pressure and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, it is frequently villainized.
Salt, on the other hand, is an essential mineral made up of sodium and chloride that is extremely important to human health.
Here are some of the vital functions of salt in the body:
- Produces stomach acid
- Aids digestion and food absorption - Aids in pathogen elimination via stomach acid
- Transports iodine into the thyroid gland, allowing thyroid hormone production
- Aids in the transport and absorption of vitamin C and glutathione into the body's organs
- Improves insulin sensitivity and helps prevent insulin resistance
- Reduces stress hormones
- Enhances sleep
- Aids in the flow of neurotransmitters
- Assists in the maintenance of magnesium and calcium balance
- Lowers LDL while increasing HDL
- Improves exercise performance
When it comes to salt, getting too little salt is oftentimes much more damaging than getting too much.
