Best Answer

Sodium is a necessary nutrient; several cellular processes rely on it. However, as with most things, too much of it is bad for you. Probably the biggest concern is that too much sodium promotes hypertension -- high blood pressure. People who are otherwise prone to high blood pressure are often put on sodium-restricted diets.
