Best Answer

Sodium is a mineral in salt which has an affinity for water. Increasing your intake of salt brings with it extra water therefore making a person heavier. It is water, however and NOT FAT. Therefore is temporary until your kidneys excrete the extra water it does NOT MAKE YOU FAT in the sense that you are storing extra fat deposits.
