We wouldn’t want to live without it. We couldn’t live without it. Salt is a constituent of seawater, of the soil, of plants and of every living cell and tissue. And we all remember reading in our history books that wars have been fought over salt. We not only need it nutritionally but m ancient times, in particular, it was the means of preserving precious food. Civilizations were built on salt’s availability. The proper exchange of salt in the human body is essential to life. The im pairment of this process interferes with the proper fluid content of the tissues and with the electrical components of the tissues functions. When something goes wrong with the handling of salt in the body, there is serious trouble. A Seasoning Favorite Thus there is no more vital element in human physiology than ondnary table salt - sodium chloride. Salt is, of course, also a great favorite because it is a seasoning that brings out the flavor of other ingredients m Lancaster Farming P-O. Box 266 - Lititz, Pa. 17543 Office: 22 E.

Doctor in the Kitchen® by Laurence M. Hursh, M.D. Consultant, National Dairy Council our food. And some salt is naturally present in food, in varying amounts. Foods from animal sources, including meat, fish, poultry, milk and cheese, contain more sodium than do foods from plant sources. Foods from the sea are, of course, higher in sodium than fresh water fish. Which brings us to warm weather - and the belief that is circulated each summer that extra salt is needed when people work or exer cise and perspire a great deal. Diet Gives You Enough Actually, the ordinary American diet provides sufficient salt for an adult to survive even the most vigorous sweating as long as his intake of water is maintained. Survival research in the U.S. Army in which I have personally been involved has proven that soldiers do not need things such as salt tablets, but they do have to drink sufficient liquids. At the grocery store you can purchase either iodized or plain salt. I recommend iodized. *>****
