The Balance of Salt and Water

You are basically a walking bag of salty soup and keeping that recipe perfect is the only thing

keeping you alive. It comes down to one golden rule called water follows salt.

When you eat a ton of sodium, your body hoards water to dilute it,

which spikes your blood pressure. But it gets scarier. If your internal pH shifts even a

tiny bit, your enzymes literally cook themselves and your cells shut down.

Your kidneys and lungs are fighting for your life every second just to make sure you do not

turn into a toxic, dehydrated waste dump.
