Table salt is a vital and essential substance for humans. It is contained in all cells, takes part in many important life processes and generally makes the life of cells possible. Lack of salt is very dangerous for the body, but its excess is even more dangerous.
About the dangers of table salt
Table salt has no nutritional value, there are no vitamins or any useful substances in it, moreover, it is practically not absorbed by the body. The scanty amount of this substance required by a person is already contained in food and the use of table salt in cooking is absolutely inappropriate.
Excess table salt damages the circulatory system, heart, kidneys, gall bladder. It promotes the leaching of calcium, dehydrates tissues, and also excites the nervous system.
Reasons for using salt in cooking
Despite the harm that table salt can cause, it has firmly entered human life and has become an integral part of most culinary recipes. It has become a tradition. Its use is justified by the fact that the human body cannot exist without sodium chloride. But the quantities in which salt is used in cooking are hazardous to health!
Many peoples, for example, the Eskimos, never consumed table salt as a "seasoning", they received the required amount from food. These peoples do not have health problems associated with a lack of salt.
Many gourmets claim that food without salt has no taste. However, if a person eats a lot of salt, he simply loses his natural taste. After several weeks of salt-free nutrition, the taste of food begins to feel differently, like the original taste, not overwhelmed by excess salt.
There are many wonderful, tasty seasonings that pleasantly complement the taste of food, and table salt only destroys it, turning the taste of any food into a taste of salt. Naturally, a person who consumes salt cannot feel the true taste of food, so it seems impossible for him to consume unsalted food.
