Eating Too Much Salt? Find Out With These 7 Warning Signs
Kidney stones
If you’ve ever suffered from kidney stones, you most likely did not forget that experience. To prevent that from ever happening again or, better yet, at all, keep track of your sodium intake and stop eating too much salt.
That’s because high amounts of sodium can significantly disturb your kidney function by affecting the kidney’s ability to eliminate the excess water through osmosis. In addition, too much salt can increase the concentration of calcium in your urine, forming crystals which eventually become kidney stones.
