How bad is Sodium exactly? I ate an entire bag of beef jerky

People used to think that excess dietary sodium was bad because it upped blood pressure due to increasing blood osmolarity

Now we know that it doesn't do anything to people with properly functioning kidneys.

Nope you're gonna die

Gj falling for the jerky meme

78g of protein, 480 calories for $3.25 is a pretty good meme.

Except a high salt diet damages nephrons over time

This. Hypertension in general will eventually lead to damage to many organs down stream. Eyes, kidneys, heart.

Where the fuck is jerky so cheap? There's no way a $4 of jerky has 4000mg sodium

All I know the more sodium you intake the more water you will hold the next day.

Those are secondary to the development of hypertension though

Direct damage comes from a combination of things like reduced solvent capacity and volume and inorganic ion stresses on tubular cells during the process of natriuresis

Though it can raise blood pressure independently of kidney injury, for example by impairing endothelial function or extrarenal clearance mechanisms (interstitial macrophages and lymph are a popularly researched one)

As long as you don't do it every day you'll be fine. Hell people who drink stupid amounts of sports drinks gobble down far more salt and most of them don't just keel over and die.

The human body is adaptable and intelligent. If you have excess sodium your body will simply store that shit for when it needs it. Or it will piss it out if you dont. Very few things in the body are ever truly wasted. Just eat less salt tomorrow and stop being a little bitch.

Short-term it will make you temporarily weigh more because it makes you absorb water.

That's why a really horrendous cheat meal with tons of salt and carbs can make you suddenly weigh five more pounds than you did yesterday, but then you go back to normal if you do something that makes you sweat a lot.

It won't kill your gains or anything. And no major health problems unless you do it every day for years.

Not necessarily that quickly in healthy individuals

Impairments in whole-body water balance take time (months of a high salt diet in chimpanzees at least) as they're initiated by kidney dysfunction

>most of them don't just keel over and die
No, but they can suffer negative impacts on health like hypertension which can lead to death later on

That sounds more like your wishful thinking than a reflection on how the human body works in reality

Nigger nobody eats half a kilo of salt everyday. Fuck off with your shitty studies

>>40152328
What the fcuk are you talking about? Exactly none of those are "half a kilo of salt everyday", the first is only ~3.7g or so, which is significantly less than even what OP ate.

>>40152206
In the third study they apparently found that giving people 6.9g to 8.05g of sodium per day had a negative effect on endothelium-dependent dilation. And then the fourth study apparently suggests that endothelium-dependent dilation is important in muscle protein synthesis.

200% of the recommended daily amount is 4.6g which is much less than they gave those test subjects.

>>40153140
Your point? The first showed ~3.7g was sufficient, just with a smaller effect size.

>>40151182
Salt is made out to be bad because fat fucks who eat fast food all day get too much of it while being completely sedentary. If you're active like most people on this board you need more salt. It's FINE.

>>40154779
Yeah if you keep repeating that fantasy maybe facts will stop triggering you

>>40151509
The store. Do you live in a 5th world country where Jerky is imported?
