Salt affects the ionic balance of the fluid level in the blood. The body needs then to add more water into the blood to dilute the concentration of salt. More fluid means that your blood pressure will increase.


Increased blood pressure has huge medical implications on the kidney, heart, brain and other organs throughout the body.

If the body does not dilute the salt levels in the blood it would case the water to leak out of the cells in the body killing them very quickly - like pouring salt onto a slug.


Extreme levels of salt cause irreversible damage to the kidney over a period of hours.
