The kidneys are responsible for checking the salt levels in the blood. They respond to changes in sodium levels by adjusting how much sodium is excreted in urine to maintain a healthy balance in the body.

Why are salty foods not healthy to eat?

Eating salty foods is only not advisable if you have a high blood pressure. If your blood pressure (and heart) are fine, there is no additional risk attached to ingesting salt. When you eat salt, it goes into your bloodstream. Your body then tries to balance out the extra sodium in your bloodstream, by adding more water to your blood (which is why eating salty foods make you thirsty). This extra water increases the blood pressure in your circulatory system ever so slightly. (This is great for people with low blood pressure, since eating salt is an easy way to treat it.) For people with an already high blood pressure, ingesting unnecessary salt is unwise since it could result in a cardiac event. However for people with a perfectly healthy blood pressure, ingesting some salty foods will make very little difference. For those with a low blood pressure, they are advised to actually eat salty foods.
