Some random health facts about salt and water
15 years ago
1) Salt, in large enough quantities, can be toxic to ones body.
2) Water, in large enough quantities, can also be toxic. But only over a long period of time.
3) Taking in too much salt is easily counteracted by drinking water (which is why I'm not concerned about the sodium content of restaurant and fast food). The extra salt will bind to the extra water and work its way out of your system.
4) Water and salt work together in the body to help maintain blood pressure. Too much salt (or not having enough water) increases blood pressure. Not enough salt (or having too much water in the system) reduces it (which is just as dangerous as the opposite happening).
5) Despite how important they are together, you should NEVER drink saltwater. Saltwater can kill your liver even faster than binge-drinking alcohol.
6) Despite today's date, all of these are facts. 100% true.
