Last week when I went to my society grocery store for purchasing kitchen items I surprised when I did not get any normal table salt .He has only low sodium salt or lite salt of different brand .then I remember tv commercial ad of tata lite salt .as it was late evening and my kitchen is running out of salt so I purchase one packet of tata lite salt and for my surprise it is Rs. 19-20 per kg while normaltable salt of same brand is Rs 11-12 per kg may be store keeper getting more margin on these new salt product of this brand tata.
As everyone know that salt is very essential mineral for every living thing on the earth . we are consuming salt in different form unrefined salt(sea salt or salt we are using 20 years ago), refined table salt, iodized salt and now this lite salt.Major source is sea, dead sea and some other .
sodium is one of the primary electrolytes in the body. All four cationic electrolytes(sodium, magnesium, calcium and potassium) are available in unrefined salt as are other vital mineral needed for optimal dodily function.
so any iodized table salt or unrefined iodized salt is good for our health and we can control our sodium intake by reducing and increasing salt quantity in our diet there is no need of purchasing this new type of salt with salt substitute because it has only 15% low sodium
