Reducing salt intake is for the purpose of lowering sodium intake which are usually advised in cases like have high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases,kidney disease or kidney failure, pneumonia,
Many other conditions that retain water such as edema,congestive heart failure, etc. would also benefit from restricted salt due to the fact that SODIUM promotes the further accumulation of fluids.
Other conditions that may also benefit from a low-salt diet include kidney stones, gastritis and ulcers caused by H. pylori infection, migraine headaches, and Ménière’s disease.
