Question

Salt is essential ingredient for our body, but why we don't drink saline water?

Answer 1

Seawater contains excess salts than the body would require.If Humans started consuming saline water then they would start urinating more than they consume.This will result in being more thirstier.


Another thing is that when we consume salt from our foods,we also consume freshwater and other liquids free from salt.These liquids dilute the salt content inside our body mainly kidneys does this work .If there is excess of salt in our body then there will be no freshwater to dilute this salt.The kidneys will stop working ,what we call it as kidney failure.
