A member asked:
If you eat to much salt but drink plenty of water is it ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Salt: If one is healthy, has no blood pressure problems and has normal kidney function then the worry about salt is needless. No matter what medical condition you do or do not have drinking 'plenty' of water is always advised by your physician.
