Pickles, especially pickle juice, are high in sodium. Depending on the recipe, a single one-cup serving of chopped dill pickles contains 1,251 milligrams of sodium, nearly half the recommended intake for an adult. If you're following a low-sodium diet for your health, consume pickles in moderation.
For those who are especially salt-sensitive, sodium may increase blood pressure, thus increasing your risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Salt may also harm your bones by forcing your body to "lose" calcium, especially if you are a pre or post-menopausal woman.
