Sodium

Sodium is something your body needs to control blood pressure and blood volume. Sodium is also needed for your muscles and nerves to work properly. but how much is too much sodium? and what are the negative effects of binging on your favorite chips, fries, and other salty foods.

Too much sodium can lead to high blood pressure and retention of fluids leaving you bloated and not letting your body break down or metabolize your foods as quickly or efficiently. I'm going to go ahead and suggest that you keep your sodium level down especially if your goal is to lose or maintain a certain weight. 

The best and easiest way to stay away from high levels of sodium is to stay away from processed and prepared foods which are known to be extremely high in sodium levels. Stick to a more natural diet, it will help you feel and look better.
