Some habits die hard but we need to shake the salt habit to live healthy. Knowledge that excess salt is unhealthy is at least 4,000 years old. World Salt Awareness Week is observed from Mar. 14 to Mar. 20 to draw attention to the ill-effects of excess salt consumption. While salt (Sodium Chloride) is essential for bodily functions, high intake is harmful.
