Why do I have this addiction to Salt?!
Question: Why do I have this addiction to Salt!?
Every now and again I get an unhealthy addiction to salt!. I have been like this since I was a child!. I used to put salt on almost anything (even onto ready salted crisps which already have salt on)!. I regularly get salty products like salted peanuts and ritz biscuits and instead of eating them, I lick off the salt and throw away the actual product!. I don't know why but I get a strong craving for the taste of the salt!. Since I was around 15 years old (now 20) I have even started eating salt on it's own off a plate! I have been to the doctors who gave me no help what so ever apart from a blood test which showed nothing abnormal so they had no idea!. This was a few years back though and it is just getting worse!. As far as I know the salt isn't effecting me in anyway!. I am average height and weight and I am healthy, so what on earth is this obsession/addiction!. I have never done any drugs or smoked so it's not like it's a substitute for something I have done in the past!. Any help please!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

You are probably deficient in potassium as an overload of sodium (salt) causes the sodium to be preferentially absorbed at the expense of potassium as sodium and potassium interact!.
Perhaps you should take a potassium supplement every day to correct a likely deficiency of potassium caused by an overload of sodium!.
Perhaps you should investigate a web search for "table salt" + "health hazards" and the resulting shocks may perhaps give you a good incentive to quit this self destructing salt obsession/addiction!.
Probably the reason for your addiction is that you love the taste of salt!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
