Salt is a key mineral that the body needs to help regulate fluid balance, muscle contraction, and nerve regulation. It also enhances the taste of food and acts as a preservative, which is why it’s found in everything from deli meats to spices.
Too much sodium is linked to high blood pressure and heart disease, which is why the American Heart Association recommends no more than 2,300 mg a day and even lowers it even further to an ideal limit of no more than 1,500 mg a day for most adults.
