Be careful if you are consuming too much salt, these diseases will make their home in the body.

Health News Desk, We often use more salt to enhance the taste of food, but do you know that eating too much salt can cause serious harm to our health? This especially causes huge damage to our bones. The sodium present in salt removes calcium from the body which strengthens the bones, which weakens the bones. Sodium removes calcium from the body through urine. Due to this, there is deficiency of calcium in the bones and they start becoming weak. Apart from this, excess salt also removes water from the body, due to which the bone cells become weak. Doctors advise that consuming more than 5 grams of salt per day can be harmful. To keep your bones strong, reduce salt in your diet and eat as much fresh and healthy food as possible.
