Sodium levels...harmful?

[Egomaniac247]

Aside from retaining water, what are the adverse side effects of high sodium?

I ask b/c I know mine has to be sky high. I eat steaks, tuna, salted potatos, etc, every day....then on top of it, I eat Pickles to quell my cravings and they alone have 200mg per pickle.

Am I setting myself up for poor heart conditions? What ways are there of lowering sodium levels aside from not eating those types of food.

Hypertension, or Blood pressure if your water retention is too high. Otherwise, nothing else.

no salt = no taste

as long as you don't overtake it, there is no health worrying (just a little water retention)
