Answer 1

It could mean your body needs salt. You could be technically dehydrated because of it.

You cannot properly hydrate your cells if your salinity is too low. It happens a lot when you sweat during hot weather. Sweating is very healthful, the salts you leach through your skin when you sweat carries toxins out of your body. However you must replace the salt that is lost, otherwise your electrolytes could become too low, and you might not be able to retain water very well, like drinking lots of water but urinating every 15 minutes.

Alternately, if you have too much salt you might be retaining water (bloated) . How would you correct that? Reduce salt intake and EXERCISE (sweating).
