Your body does need sodium, for proper nerve cell and muscle cell function, among other things. What it does not need, however, are the large amounts of added salt - to processed foods, especially. Excess sodium in the diet can lead to high blood pressure problems (hypertension), and then on to other cardiovascular problems.
What else can I help you with?
Can you have salt on the 4 day diet?
Very small amounts of sodium (contained in foods, naturally) is sufficient. There is no need for added salt in any diet.
Do you need salt?
Yes, salt [sodium chloride] is an essential mineral used by the body. Most of the salt your body needs is gained from the foods you eat, added salt is not necessary unless you have a deficiency from improper nutrition. Iodized table salt also provides iodine, another essential mineral, which you can get from eating fish from the ocean or sea. So with a well balanced diet, added salt is not really necessary.
Is it bad if you dont have sodium for more than three days?
Sodium isn't all that good for you. You don't have to worry, there is more sodium in your foods than you think.....Another answer:Sodium is absolutely essential for your body to function, particularly your brain and your heart. If you do not have enough sodium in your bloodstream, you can die very quickly. This is called hyponatremia.However, the previous answer is correct that most people get plenty of sodium from foods and do not need to be concerned about insufficient sodium intake. Most cases of hyponatremia are caused by drinking too much water, and not caused by consuming too little sodium. The body can store enough sodium for a three-day fast, provided that water consumption is not extreme.
What mass of sodium chloride would need to be added to the blood to bring the sodium ion concentration up to 0.139 M assuming no change in blood volume?
you eat foods and the sodium chloride is absorbed by the body and your body keeps your blood about 7% salt, which matches the ocean's salt levels (but let's not concern ourselves with evolution right now). excess sodium in your diet will be excreted in sweat and urine. excess sodium will lead also to higher blood pressure as the body has to hold onto more water in the blood to keep this sodium ion level at a certain level. saline solution that is often given in hospitals to sick, dehydrated patients is also at the (about) 7% level.
What mass of sodium chloride would need to be added to the blood to bring the sodium ion concentration up to 0.140m assuming no change in blood volume?
5.8g of sodium chloride would need to be added to the blood to bring the sodium ion concentration up to 0.140m with no change in blood volume. This is also known as the Ionic strength.
