Benefits and Harms of Salt

Since iodine deficiency in the human diet causes various diseases such as goiter, potassium iodate is usually added to refined table salt so that consumers can benefit from it and receive the necessary daily amount. This product is called iodized salt. Refined iodized salts retain iodine better and longer due to their high purity.

To preserve the iodine in iodized salt, it should be consumed within one year, kept away from light and moisture, and stored in closed plastic, wooden, earthenware, or dark glass containers. Also, during cooking, it’s better to add salt at the end to preserve its iodine content as much as possible.

Salt is one of the favorite seasonings of humans. In our own culture, it is said that food without salt has no taste, and this causes many people’s tastes to gradually shift towards high-salt foods, leading to increased sodium intake. In many individuals, increased sodium intake elevates blood pressure because it causes water retention in the body, putting extra pressure and strain on the heart.
