Sodium chloride is essential to the body. The sodium in salt helps transmit nerve impulses and contract muscle fibers. Working with potassium, it balances fluid levels in the body, but you only need less than one-tenth of a teaspoon to do this, whereas the average person gets nearly 20 times that much. In some people, consuming extra sodium makes the body hold onto water which can increase blood pressure.
