Salt is a common seasoning in a normal diet. Many people add it to recipes and use it as seasoning on food. Many people claim that they cannot taste their dinner without adding some seasoning, but cutting back will enable you to discover flavors that you never knew were there.
Most people consume a lot more sodium than is needed and there’s considerable debate about whether this is safe or not. High salt diets have been linked to raise blood pressure (hypertension), one of the risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
Excessive salt intake has been linked to other health problems:
Excess calcium loss from bones, increasing the risk of osteoporosis
