Is salt addictive?

Answer by  iggylizard (352)

Salt itself is not an addictive substance. However, if you become used to having a certain amount of salt on your food then you may find less salty foods a little on the bland side. If you find yourself wanting too much salt, try other methods of flavoring your food that are lower in sodium.

It's not addictive, but you can develop a taste for it. The best way to avoid using too much salt is to not have it on the table when you're eating. Also, you can try using other herbs and spices for flavor when you're preparing meals. Too much salt can be bad for you so try to use it sparingly.
