Having Enough Table Salt in the Diet Can Prevent Hyponatremia

Question

Having enough table salt in the diet can prevent hyponatremia.

Accepted Answer

Hyponatremia is a condition in which there is a low concentration of sodium in the blood. This can occur due to excessive sweating, vomiting, or drinking large amounts of water without adequate salt intake. Consuming enough table salt (which contains sodium chloride) in the diet can help prevent hyponatremia.
