Many people including myself take Salt and Sugar in proportion as we like but it's not a good thing and its more intake will harm your health and if you control or lessen its take you will save money and will keep yourself healthy too.

[Treborika]

I have already managed the consumption of sugar. The problem now comes on the salt. I would feel the urge for adding more and more til it becomes more saturated.

[arunima]

Sugar and salt consumption in excess can bring in a lot of health issues and that can lead to further expenses on medical treatments.

[JASPREET]

I prefer perfect salt and sugar otherwise I may not like the food or drink but I need to learn to stop doing that

[eldavis]

Doing this does not only help you save, it also helps you stay healthy. Everyone knows too much sugar is not good for the body, while salt on the other hand, too much of it could cost some damage.

[aovurevu]

Most people are always doing this including myself, taking a lot of sugar and salt do affect the health but it's just because we are already used to taking it that way and didn't realise it isn't an ideal way.

[arunima]

We all need to know our health conditions before we try out the appropriate amount of salt and sugar intake. Even deficiency of them might not be good. Some people like me have a tendency for low blood pressure. We are advised to take a bit extra salt.

My mom doesn't take salt and sugar because she is hypertensive. And she has lived very long.

Here neither sugar is costly nor salt is expensive, but if we limit it's intake then we'll be save from some serious illness like high blood pressure and high blood sugar level, so indirectly we'll save medicine cost.

It has never been about the cost of sugar or salt. It has more to do with the cost of managing these health conditions. Routine checkup alone for high BP costs a lot of money.

It depends on your body's needs. I have low blood pressure, so limiting salt would not be helpful for me.

That is understandable. I have cousins that put as much as 8 cubes of sugar in a glass of tea. They think it is enjoyment, not knowing they are endangering their lives.

[augusta]

This can help you keep away some disease like high BP that comes from taking excess salt

[Vehlijanta]

Both these are most used in homes and it's good to reduce its consumption, save money and stay healthy

[Tinni]

This can help you keep away some disease like high BP that comes from taking excess salt

The cost of maintaining a person with high BP is far higher than the sweetness or taste buds tingling these things provide. Common strip for checking blood sugar is so expensive.

[Nsikan]

I am very conscious if my health and have completely replaced sugar with honey in my tea and other drinkables.

[Pistis]

High salt and sugar intake leads to obesity which one has to manage with gym fees to lose. They also lead to complex heart diseases. I use salt minimally. I do sugar once in three months.

I was talking about salt, not sugar.

Blood pressure and blood sugar are two different things. Salt affects your blood pressure, not blood sugar. Blood pressure is checked using a blood pressure cuff, not by taking blood.

[sweerie_banana]

I stopped taking sugar a while back. No one buys sugar anymore in my house.
We've never reduced our salt intake.

[Nsikan]

I have consciously tried to reduce my salt intake. It has not been easy as foods sometimes seem tasteless without salt but it is the price I have got to pay.
