Salt.. Sodium.. Bad...

[mystic_man]

Hey gang.. Ive been really good on my diet nowadays.. So good to the point Im f@#$ing sick of eating everything cause it tastes so bland. What is the big downfall of eating alot of sodium. It seems lately unflavored chicken breast and tuna out of a can and steak unmarinated just lose all its flavor.. damn I miss that. I stay away from all of it just because I thin it dries you out alot.. even though I drink lots of water.. Im a little confused on what the serious downfalls of excess sodium intake are. Thanks.

unless you're preparing for a show, there's no real problem with sodium.

A little bit more salt may provide so much more enhancement

I wouldn't worry about sodium. The only time I watch my sodium intake is when I know I am going to be around girls with my shirt off (spring break, summer beach trips, etc). Excess sodium will bloat you up, but you can drain that water by going low sodium for a day or two.

high sodium is a problem with high blood pressure
