Salt is not only an important condiment, but also an indispensable substance for maintaining the normal development of the human body. It regulates the balanced distribution of water in the human body, maintains osmotic pressure inside and outside cells, participates in the formation of gastric acid, promotes the secretion of digestive juices, and can increase appetite; At the same time, it also ensures the pH necessary for pepsin, maintains the balance of pH in the body, and the normal circulation of body fluids.

If you don't eat salt, you can't eat too little salt, and eating too little salt will also cause the sodium content in the body to be too low, and the phenomenon of loss of appetite, weakness of limbs, dizziness and so on; In severe cases, symptoms such as anorexia, nausea, vomiting, rapid heart rate, weak pulse, muscle spasms, blurred vision, decreased reflexes, and even death may occur.

In ancient times, the Netherlands, Sweden and other countries stipulated that those who violated the criminal law were not allowed to eat salt for a period of time as punishment.

However, eating more salt is also harmful to the human body. The results of the scientists' research show that salt can "hydrate" the human body, that is, salt has a certain adsorption force on water, and the more salt in the human body, the water requirement will also increase accordingly, so that too much water is retained in the body, thus causing high blood pressure.

The body is swollen, edema, weak, such as sweating, metabolism all need salt to participate in ......However, the water in the food contains salt.

The acidity and alkalinity in the body will be uneven.

For human beings, salt is a very important thing, an important material for society, and an indispensable seasoning in people's lives. Not only that, table salt also provides some trace elements necessary to maintain the normal growth and development of the human body. So, what are the dangers of not eating salt?

Long-term iodine intake is insufficient, the human body will cause goiter due to iodine deficiency, commonly known as "big neck disease", which affects health and is very unsightly, and iodine deficiency will also affect the development of intelligence, resulting in mental retardation. Many countries, through years of prevention and control work, have proven that iodization of salt is the best way to supplement iodine.

Table salt can also regulate water saturation in the body and maintain cell penetration and compression in the body. Eating less salt may lower blood pressure, and if salt is not replenished in time, it can cause difficulty in blood circulation. Salt also helps digest food and forms stomach acid along with other substances, and salt also keeps the protease in the stomach and maintains the pH so that it is not too high or too low.

People don't eat salt, and eating too little salt can lead to too low sodium content in the human body, loss of appetite, weakness in the limbs, inability to concentrate, and even dizziness; In severe cases, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, rapid heartbeat, weak pulse, muscle spasms, blurred vision, decreased reflexes, etc.

2. We all know that only when the acid-base balance in the human body is healthy, and the sodium ions in the salt will form alkaline substances in the human body, and if you don't eat salt, it will lead to the acid-base imbalance in the human body, which is not conducive to physical health.
