Why is salt bad to eat?

Blood pressure: It would be impossible to overstate the contribution of high blood pressure to overall ill-health especially in older folks who've had it for a long time. In societies where salt isn't normally added to food, there's far, far less high blood pressure.

Salt bad.: Where salt goes, water tends to follow, so too much salt would not be good for patients with certain medication conditions, such as high blood pressure, congestive heart failure and some kidney diseases.
