Because the majority of the sodium humans consume is in the form of salt compounds, such as common table salt, NaCl (Sodium chloride). These salts are generally harmless to humans, and often required by our Biology to be used as electrolytes. However, if you were to eat pure elemental sodium, which reacts with water in an exothermic fashion; and since the human body is over sixty percent water, you would very likely explode.
