∙ 12y agoSodium is an essential mineral to the human body. It regulates the amount of fluid in our bloodstream, aids in nervous system transmission, and maintains proper muscular functions. Since sodium attracts water, over-consumption causes an abnormally high level of fluid in the bloodstream. The body counteracts this by producing more blood cells to maintains a proper Ph balance. This increases the amount of volume of fluids in the circulatory system, the heart works harder to pump blood, and blood pressure increases.
