It is advised to cut down on salt consumption because a diet high in salt raises bp and increase the risk to heart & stroke. Besides, it also creates a condition called strophic gastritis which leads to stomach cancer. Ok, I have decided to lower my salt intake, but the problem is I am not aware of how much salt is necessary for human consumption. I need an exact value so that the adverse effects of reducing salt intake like fall in bp can be avoided.

Hi bodybuildingcommune friends,

 I have less idea about the title (How much salt is necessary for human consumption?) So please go through below

 The sodium and chlorine in salt are electrolytes, minerals that conduct electricity in our fluids and tissues. The other main electrolytes are potassium, calcium and magnesium. Our kidneys maintain the balance of electrolytes and water by regulating the fluids that we take in and pass out of our bodies. If this balance is disturbed, our muscles, nerves and organs won't function correctly because the cells can't generate muscle contractions and nerve impulses.
