i love eating cold cuts, and they are high in sodium. How bad is it for you?

It gets a bad rap for the general public.....IMO if you are drinking a LOT of water ie - more than a gallon - you need MORE soduium than the RDA - I think around 4-6000mg, depending on the water intake

sodium is really an issue if you have heart problems / hypertension

But if you drink plenty of wtaer it is not that bad
just a little water retention...
