Q&A: Organic foods and salt
Unfortunately salt has been given a bad reputation – while there are people out there who genuinely need to cut back or eliminate their salt intake for health reasons, sodium is actually an essential nutrient.
We need sodium to regulate fluid levels, blood pressure, and assist in proper muscle and nerve function. When we are low in sodium, it can be difficult for our bodies to cool down following exertion or activity – lack of sodium leads to insufficient sweating, which can result in dehydration, exhaustion, or even stroke.
