Flavouring foods. Everyone uses salt in cooking and there is salt in many processed foods. Too much salt is harmful and can lead to high blood pressure. Iodized salt is an important source of iodine. Herbs, spices, garlic and onions are examples of other flavouring foods that help to make meals tasty.
Water. We need about eight cups of water each day and more if we are sweating or have a fever or diarrhoea. In addition to drinking water, we get water from tea, coffee, juices and soups, and from fruits and vegetables.
