Salt deficiency, or hyponatremia, can lead to a range of health issues, including muscle cramps, weakness, and fatigue. Severe cases may result in confusion, seizures, and even coma due to the disruption of electrolyte balance, which is essential for proper nerve and muscle function. Additionally, prolonged salt deficiency can impact overall fluid balance in the body, leading to dehydration and related complications. It's crucial to maintain adequate sodium levels for optimal health.
