Excess intake of salt,causes heart disease...just to remind someone

NICE OBSERVATION, BUT AFTER READING YOU WOULD ALSO NOTICE NO INTAKE OF SALT INTO THE BODY, WAS RECOMMENDED FOR ANY OF THE SOLUTIONS IF OFFERS. AS MOUTH WASH YOU STILL POURING OUT THE WATER FROM YOUR MOUTH AND YOU CAN ASWELL USE NON- SALTED WATER TO RINSE YOUR MOUTH.
