| In general, salt can help you maintain adequate hydration and
blood pressure levels. Since sodium plays a vital role in fluid balance, not getting enough of it can lead to dehydration, especially during high-intensity exercise (6Trusted Source, 7Trusted Source). Having proper fluid balance in the body is also important for maintaining healthy blood pressure levels (8Trusted Source). Therefore, consuming either too little or too much sodium can lead to changes in blood pressure in those who are sensitive to dietary salt (9Trusted Source). Eating sea salt can help you meet your sodium needs, but you can also get sodium from a variety of other foods. |
