Some uses for salt -- adding it to your food not included

Posted: Mar 18th 2008 10:31AM by Martha Edwards

Adding salt to your food is generally frowned upon--that dreaded sodium is no good for your body--but that doesn't mean you should throw out your salt shakers. According to Mark's Daily Apple, here are some interesting ways to use salt:

  • In your shoes: Putting a pinch of salt in your shoes will help reduce odor. Who knew?
  • On your hands: Mix some salt with white or malt vinegar and rub it in your hands to get rid of the smell of chopping garlic or onions.
  • On your apples: Submerging apple slices in a solution of cold salt water will keep them from going brown without compromising taste.
  • On bites: A paste of salt and water will help relieve itch and pain associated with bee strings and mosquito bites.
  • In your coffee: A small pinch of salt will take away any bitter taste in your java.
