Ingredient Spotlight!

~ Salt~

Salt has gotten a bad rap over the years, but it is actually a necessary mineral that the body cannot do without. Additionally, salt is essential for several biochemical processes of the body.  However, it is always best to keep your consumption to a minimum.  According to the American Heart Association, the maximum daily intake should not be more than 2.3 grams (g) or 2,300 milligrams (mg).  This is equivalent to less than 1 teaspoon per day.

Some of the benefits include:

1. It helps the body stay hydrated via the unique balance of sodium and potassium, which is another crucial mineral that the body needs.
2. Salt also acts as an electrolyte and thus helps with muscle cramping.
3. It is essential for the proper working of the nervous system.

So you see, salt is actually a good thing…but, just don’t overdo it!

To good health!
