Answer:The answer to the question is Balance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Balance simply means a state of equilibrium, limiting your salt intake means that you put it in a state of equilibrium/balance, because salt can never be excluded from food being a vital aspect of an adequate diet, the food we eat also contain salt naturally.

Salt naturally is vital in the body's growth development and metabolism but this can only be achieved when it is consumed adequately and appropriately.

Too much salt consumption has a negative effect on the heart, salt/sodium is water loving,it draws water which accumulates in the heart and can cause cardiac tamponade and myocarditis.

High salt intake can as well increase the risk of high blood pressure,stroke, osteoporosis and heart failure.
