organs in the body and deteriorates to health if left in place for a long time.
In the body, salt plays an important role in maintaining osmotic pressure, keeping the balance of water inside, outside the cells and in the blood vessels. In addition, salt also plays a role in maintaining cell potentials, conduction of nerve impulses, ensuring acid-base balance. Sodium regulation in the body by aldosteron cortex hormone (Na + reabsorption and renal tubular K + and H + excretion) and the hormone vasopressin (or ADH, antidiuretic hormone) of the anal pituitary gland. Normal blood sodium is 135-145 mEq / l. Salts in the blood decrease when the amount of sodium in the blood below 135 mEq / l.
A low-salt diet is when the amount of food and water taken in 24 hours to the body has a total amount of NaCl below 2,400mg (equivalent to about 1 teaspoon).
If the average person only uses 1-2 grams of salt / day and prolonged, it is considered to eat too little salt and possibly hyponatremia.




For those who diet too much salt, the amount of sodium in the blood drops a lot, which will have negative effects on your health, and even death if the amount of sodium in the blood drops too low.
Reduced blood sodium also causes free water to escape from the interstitial space, leading to edema of the hands and feet or worse: systemic edema.
Hyponatremia causes the muscle system to impair function. Manifestations include muscle fatigue, muscle paralysis, ant crawl, and cramps.
Eating too little salt causes blood sodium levels to decrease, causing leg edema because free water escapes out of the interstitial space.

People with high blood pressure only use 2-3 gm of salt / day and eat limited salt-rich foods. Should abandon the habit of using more bowl of fish sauce in the meal, including boiled vegetables.

Food is also enough for the needs of the child. In cases where children are used to eating salt, they should also cook lighter than the taste of adults. Because the child's kidney function is still weak, the ability to excrete salt is poor, and sodium accumulates in the body, making it bad for the child's health.
