Eating less salt is equivalent to calcium supplementation

Xinhuanet quoted British scientists who found that the more salt intake, the more calcium excreted in the urine, and the poorer the calcium absorption. In other words, reducing salt intake in daily life can enhance calcium absorption. (Eating too much salt will damage the kidneys.)
The researchers pointed out that a normal person excretes about 3 to 5 grams of salt in 24 hours, so a daily supplement of 5 grams in food can meet the normal needs of the human body. The World Health Organization recommends that the intake of salt per person per day should not exceed five grams. If you follow this standard, you can reduce the loss of calcium in your body.

For thousands of years, Chinese medicine has always believed that eating too much salty will damage the kidneys, and the kidneys govern the bones, so too much salty food will damage the bones. Western scientists have only known that there is at least 3,000 years of civilization difference between the East and the West.
