Salt is an important part of religion and culture.

 During Brahmin sacrifice, Hittite rituals, and new moons, salt was thrown into the fire, which produced a crackling sound.

 The ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans invoked their gods with offerings of salt and water, and some consider this to be the origin of holy water in Christianity.

Salt-An unnecessary dietary element Like sugar, salt is also considered a poison.  If sugar is sweet poison, salt is alkaline poison.  The kidneys (kidneys) have to work excessively to remove the adverse effects produced in the body by consuming salt with the diet.  As a result, after a long time there is a defect in the urinary tract and they become inactive.  It is true that salt is an essential element of taste, but the use of salt in excess is dangerous for health.  Since it is a popular belief that food cannot survive without salt, there is hardly any dish in our food that does not contain salt.  According to a dietitian, salt is not at all necessary for life or health.Salt is also an important reason for the diseases that man is suffering from today.  There is a continuous increase in the number of dieticians and medical doctors who accept this fact.  Due to excessive intake of salt, the absorption of calcium in the diet stops in the body.  Salt is injurious to health, as it is a chemical that improperly stimulates the metabolism of body cells.  Salt in one form or the other is also responsible for diseases like headache, insomnia, migraine, heart disease, liver disorders, sinusitis, deafness, hiccups, rheumatism, obesity and urinary tract.  Experts are also of the opinion that even life-threatening diseases like cancer are caused by excessive use of salt.  Doctor .  Fredrik Marwood surveyed the diets of a hundred cancer patients.  Among them, 99 patients were found to be particularly fond of salty foods.The human body requires only two grains of salt per day, which is available to him from the diet of only 50 grams of vegetables.  We get sufficient amount of salt only from greens and fruits consumed as a daily diet.  So there is no need to take extra salt.  Salt has more demerits than virtues.  A hard working worker has a special need for extra salt, because the amount of salt that gets out of his body through sweat, it is necessary to supply that amount.  If he does not consume excess salt, then due to its deficiency, he will start feeling physical pain, tearing of nerves and fatigue.By stopping the intake of salt in the diet, the disease of insomnia is removed and there is a deep sleep.  Patients with high blood pressure benefit by reducing the amount of salt in the diet.  If we reduce the use of salt in our daily diet, then there can be a good improvement in our health.  On the contrary, excessive use of salt leads to the origin of many diseases and many complications arise.
