Salt water is considered good for the body, but is it advisable to add salt to each glass of water every day? This is what experts told us: “Your regular meals already provide enough sodium for the body’s needs. Extra salt in every glass of water can easily push your intake far beyond the recommended limit and raise the risk of high blood pressure, water retention, and long-term cardiovascular issues,” said Dr Amit Saraf, director, internal medicine, Jupiter Hospital, Thane. This trend has grown with the popularity of “ electrolyte hacks” on social media, according to Dr Saraf. “Salted water can help in specific situations, like after heavy sweating, long workouts, vomiting, diarrhoea, or heat exposure, when the body loses sodium. But turning this into an everyday ritual is unnecessary and may even be harmful,” said Dr Saraf.
