Salt Diet

Everybody knows that too much of a good thing can't possibly be, well, good. Too much sugar can lead to premature diabetes, too much alcohol can wreak havoc on your liver (aside from dehydrating you), too much salt can raise the risks of heart disease and high blood pressure and cause your kidneys to work overtime...and the list goes on and on.

But does that mean you should kiss salt (and salty dishes) goodbye? Of course not! Experts say that it is perfectly okay for one to consume one teaspoon of salt per day.
