What does sodium do to u ..?

Question

i heard that too much sodium can make you gain weight - is that true ?

Answer 1

If you gain any weight, then it is water weight. Sodium does not have any calories and therefore, it can never add fat.

Your body needs sodium. However, too much can raise your blood pressure.
