Salt will be excreted in urine to maintain balance

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.

A little extra salt in the system will be excreted in the body waste through the kidneys, Please do not worry for the 2 teaspoons of salt ingested. It will get in to the system and then get released in the urine and balance the salt content in your body. There is no need to panic for the salt taken.
