Generation

Sodium affects blood pressure through a process called osmosis—when you eat salty foods, sodium enters your bloodstream and draws water molecules toward it, increasing the total volume of blood in your vessels. This extra fluid volume puts more pressure on your artery walls, similar to how a garden hose becomes more rigid when you turn up the water flow. Your kidneys normally filter out excess sodium, but when you consistently consume too much salt, they can't keep up, leading to chronically elevated blood pressure. Over time, this sustained high pressure can damage blood vessels and strain your heart, which is why doctors recommend limiting sodium intake to around 2,300 mg per day.
