Before I start, I really want to apologise for not putting a post up yesterday. Today's post will make up for it. *Hugs*
It's no secret that the main ingredient needed in any food one cooks or eats is salt. This is because, no matter the ingredients used in preparing a meal and the time spent in preparing a meal, the absence of salt in that meal renders everything sort of useless... why? Because it lacks taste.
Aside from the above, we have most times been advised to stay away from too much salt because of the risk of having one disease or the other, however, the below health benefits of salt will blow your mind away. I hope you get inspired. ENJOY!

DeleteHmmmm, which way, I remember, growing up, I used to visit my mom's friend who own a clinic, each time I eat her food there's always no salt in it.
ReplyDeleteIn my subconsciousness, I think salt do more harm than good.
Perhaps, I should have asked her; why she doesn't use salt on her meal.
