Dietary salt (sodium) is an important element in our diet, with multiple roles, including control of blood pressure, blood volume, and requirement for the proper function of the muscles and nerves.  However, too much salt in the diet may lead to medical disorders, including high blood pressure, and contribute to a buildup of fluid in people with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, or kidney disease.
