If you don't have enough sodium then you will have low blood pressure.

Sodium deficiency is extremely rare, as most Americans over-consume sodium. Deficiency usually only occurs with prolonged bouts of fluid loss due to diarrhea, vomiting, or perspiration. Those who have kidney problems may also be more likely to develop a sodium deficiency. Symptoms of deficiency include nausea, dizziness, and muscle cramps. Athletes or anyone who are well hydrated and strenuously active (sweating) for up to four hours can replenish sodium stores easily during the next meal. However, in endurance exercise longer than four hours, sodium stores should be replaced during exercise with food or sports drinks.

Why you able to separate the salt from the salt water solution?

Dont get me wrong, but you seem to be asking how to separate salt from water. I think if you evaporate water, the salt cannot evaporate, and it stays behind. However, if the light is really hot, it will evaporate the salt along with the water. (Example: If you put salt and water in a dish and hold it on top of a lit candle, the light is hot enough to evaporate water, but not hot enough to evaporate salt.
