Is there a problem with sodium in diet

[Synpax]

Assuming you have no high blood pressure issue, is there a problem with getting too much sodium?

Sodium can make you retain quite a bit of water, among other things...

Depending on how much sodium; if you don't experience too many sides from sodium intake then moderate intake would be fine, just don't overdo it.

besides the water bloat I dont see any major problems, unless you go over 5g/day for an extended period of time.

i find keeping sodium to a minimum helps with cuts but if you're drinking ALOT of water it should help somewhat

so what if your primary sodium intake is canned tuna and you get like2.5 grams from sodium, wouild you call that overdoing it?

You should lay off too much tuna, but if you're not precontest it would not be considered overdoing but a bit much that's for sure - no matter the source, sodium is sodium.
