As with any food, too much or too little salt can hurt the body. Consuming too much sodium - whether in the form of a natural salt or as an additive to your normal food - can result in hypertension or high blood pressure. You may also experience bloating and lethargy.
Too little sodium in your diet can lead to muscle fatigue and digestive issues. Either way, an improperly balanced level of sodium in your body can disrupt the electrolyte levels, leading to reduced brain-body communication. Too little sodium may also lead to dehydration. As always, consult with your physician to determine the appropriate levels of sodium for you.
