Salt is NaCl Sodium Chloride
yes
I think so. NA
You get your daily Sodium from Salt also known as Sodium Cloride (NaCl)
Well, on all the food labels, it states the sodium content in the food, even though salt isn't really sodium or Na. I know that foods that are high in sodium raise your blood pressure and that some salts are iodized and this prevents a deficiency that forms goiters.
Yes, part of the salt is sodium
There are few different kind of salt:
Edible Salt
Edible salt, usually called just salt, is a flavor enhancer, comprising primarily of sodium chloride, and is one of the few minerals commonly eaten by humans.

Sea Salt,
obtained by evaporating seawater, is used in cooking and cosmetics. Its mineral content gives it a different taste from table salt, which is pure sodium chloride, usually refined from mined rock salt (halite) or from sea salt.

Table Salt
Sodium chloride, also known as common salt, table salt, or halite, is a chemical compound with the formula NaCl.

Yes, salt is a sodium.
Edible salt, usually called just salt, is a flavor enhancer, comprising primarily of sodium chloride, and is one of the few minerals commonly eaten by humans. There are different forms of edible salt: unrefined salt (such as sea salt), refined salt (table salt), and iodized salt. It is a crystalline solid, white, pale pink or light grey in color, normally obtained from sea water or rock deposits. Natural sea salt includes vital trace minerals in addition to the sodium chloride. Edible rock salts may be slightly greyish in color due to this mineral content.
Sodium and chlorine, the two components of salt, are necessary for the survival of all living creatures, including humans, but they need not be consumed as salt, where they are found together in very concentrated form. Some isolated cultures, such as the Yanomami in South America, have been found to consume little salt.[1] Salt is involved in regulating the water content (fluid balance) of the body. Salt flavor is one of the basic tastes. Salt cravings may be caused by trace mineral deficiencies as well as by a deficiency of sodium chloride itself.
Overconsumption of salt can increase the risk of health problems, including high blood pressure. In food preparation, salt is used as a preservative and as a seasoning.
