Have you ever wondered why the tears are salty? Well do not think long, it's over, because we're telling you the good reason, giving you a compelling explanation. Almost 99% of tears are water and the rest are inorganic compounds including salt. The amount of salt in your tears depends on your body condition and why you are weeping. Tears are more salty when people cry because they feel bored. When you cry your thyroid works harder and the heart beats stronger, the body experiences a similar tension to physical activity, so sweat is salty.
While, when you cry from happiness, tears are not salty at all. Interesting or not?
