I have been seeing this contest from my mentor @patjewell today I decided to take part. In this week's topic of choice I will choose Salt. I will move further to expanciate on the things i know about salt.

Talking from the experience of when I was small, I used to see my grand mother use salt to preserve fish before even drying it on fire, After the drying you can eat the fish without cooking it and the taste is yummy.

The color of salt is white, the taste can easily be dictated from other things like bitter, sour, and sweet.

Salt has been serving life right from time immoral, the things we eat can not give that delicious taste without salt no matter how small.

Now lets see why our body needs salt.

I see many people running away from salt due to the negative effects, believe me In as much as we shouldn't take much salt into the body there are need to take just little and here are they.
