Side effects of eating too much salt
Heart failure: Consuming too much salt puts pressure on your blood vessels, which can increase blood pressure and lead to high blood pressure, stroke and heart failure. However, this problem does not occur in those people who eat less salt.
Kidney disease: If you have been eating too much salt for a long time, then be careful now. Because it can damage your kidneys later. You may face a condition in which the kidneys lose their ability to filter water.
Osteoporosis: Excess sodium in the diet can lead to calcium deficiency in the bones. When you eat foods high in salt, you are also taking less calcium out of your body. Due to this the bones become weak and the problem of osteoporosis starts appearing.
Swelling in the body: This condition occurs when ‘water retention’ (increased amount of fluid) occurs in your body due to excessive salt intake. For this reason, you feel very thirsty after eating salty food. However, when one starts consuming certain foods without salt and also increases water intake, the bloating in the body goes away. But even after this, stress is dangerous for your body.
