Salt


Every edible item created by God has some pinch of salt in it. In fact, our bodies need only a small quantity of salt and every item that we eat contains inherently more than the required quantity. The creator of our body, God, knows very well what we need, so He has taken care that we should not miss any of them. That’s why He has provided natural salt in every food and that’s why we don’t need to add further salt through our food.

Then you may ask why your tongue does not taste this salt in our natural food. It is because your tongue has become so used to salt that it no longer tastes the lesser quantity. If you are accustomed to drinking strong coffee, can’t you tell the difference at once if the brew is weak? The same principle is applicable here also.

If you don’t add salt to your food for three or four months, your tongue will be able to identify the salt in vegetables and fruits. In place of salt, you can add any of these to make your food tasty – milk, curds, coconut, tomato, leafy vegetables, or sour items.
