Salt is a necessary element in our life.

Yes, we all know that. It is not a life altering epiphany.

I just realized it, yet again.

Today, the food I brought from home for lunch, did not have salt. Even with all the indian spices, and a lot of vegetables, it tasted bland.

I ate it, as I was hungry. I didn’t want to eat anything from office cafeteria, thanks to my hyper sensitive stomach.

I finished it. I still felt hungry.

No, it’s not about the quantity. It was enough.

Because of no salt, I did not “enjoy” the food as much. My stomach therefore is not happy. It is shouting that it needs more food. In effect, no salt equalled no food.

Salt is a necessary element in our life.
