Homeostasis. Your body is constantly trying to maintain balance. Sodium helps retain fluid that your body needs, but too much sodium can actually pull the water out of your cells and dry you out. Too little or too much is bad either way and can cause serious electrolyte imbalances. It can mess with your blood pressure, brain, body and other organs inside like kidneys. Remember, pretty much anything can be a poison, it’s all about the dose. Even water which you need and is good for you can be fatal if taken too much too fast.
