High Daily Sodium Intake

IMYarnCraz33

Lately my daily sodium intake has been high and I've been concerned about it.
I know high blood pressure was a factor but I didn't know what other possible risks there might be.
I did a search and found a helpful article.

Sodium in the body is mainly found in the fluids that surround the body's cells, such as the blood and lymph fluid. When sodium intake exceeds the amount the body can handle it builds up within the interstitial areas and the kidneys have to work extra hard to excrete a constant rise in daily sodium intake. A build up may cause the body to hold extra fluids in the blood and around the cells which contributes to increased blood pressure and also excess weight gain from water.
