Is alot of Sodium bad for you?

[JoNeS]

I'm currently cutting, and I am on an extremely clean diet. However I am taking in about 2,500mg of sodium daily via the form of hot sauce.

Visually I really don't look like I am retaining a lot of water though.

So is this much sodium bad? Can I continue flavoring my clean foods with hot sauce?

well from what I know a lot of sodium will cause u to retain water, however you say your not. Im cutting now too, i try and stay away from the stuff as much as possible. I would guess i take in well under 1000g a day. I just started really watching sodium levels last week.

2, 500mg isn't excessive - you should be fine. How's your blood pressure?

That should be fine as long as you are drinking enough water to balance out your electrolites. I would only worry about those kinds of amounts of sodium in the last couple of weeks before a show..

No clue, how do I go about checking it?

A lot of grocery stores have blood pressure machines by their pharmacies.
