The sodium penalty. We should know.
The blame for sodium.
Hypertension: Sodium causes the body to store more water in its veins, resulting in increased blood supply, and the heart has to work harder to pump blood, leading to high blood pressure.
Kidney disease: Overeating sodium causes the kidneys to work harder to expel excess sodium; if the kidney malfunction causes salt and water in the body, leading to edema, and eventually chronic kidney disease.
Edema: Sodium draws excess water to accumulate in the body under the skin, causing swelling in parts such as the abdomen, legs, and ankles.
Cardiovascular disease: Hypertension caused by excessive sodium consumption is the main risk factor of cardiovascular disease.
Increased risk of other diseases: High sodium exposure also increases the risk of stroke (stroke) and stomach cancer.
