How come some of us are more sensitive to sodium than others?

Sea Salt vs Table Salt
Ordinary table salt has been stripped of its companion elements and contains additive. In studies table salts have been link to hypertension and other heart or blood illness. Table salt also gives many people the feeling of being bloating. Natural sea salt is a healthy replacement for ordinary table salt on the market; it contains about 80 mineral elements that the body needs. Sea salt has nutrients and minerals that help your body preserve the blood cells.
From what I understand, the reason you bloat is that when you consume table salt your body senses a soldium imbalance and to compensate for that you retain water to balance out the levels in your system. Hope this helps.

Alot has to do with our sodium/potassium balance
http://www.thepaleodiet.com/articles...er%20Final.pdf
400% increase in sodium ingestion (4, 12, 159).
The inversion of potassium and sodium concentrations in
hominin diets had no evolutionary precedent and now plays an
integral role in eliciting and contributing to numerous diseases of
civilization. Diets low in potassium and high in sodium may
partially or directly underlie or exacerbate a variety of maladies
and chronic illnesses, including hypertension, stroke, kidney
stones, osteoporosis, gastrointestinal tract cancers, asthma,
exercise-induced asthma, insomnia, air sickness, high-altitude
sickness, and Meniere?s Syndrome (ear ringing) (160 ?170).

Agreed with baraat, potassium levels can be a factor on water retention, though not the only factor. Just as sodium will make one retain water, potassium will do the opposite. An existing potassium deficiency will allow for higher sodium level concentrates in the blood. Also excess sodium will deplete potassium levels.

I bloat if I increase my sodium a lot for one day, but with constant sodium levels I am fine - eg. I eat pre-seasoned, ie. brine soaked chicken breast, and I salt my foods, but if I add to that pizza, I will bloat.

Lots of strong physiology in this thread.
I suggest you all do some reading. Here's an introduction to fluid homeostasis:

hmm i thought that your dna regulates how much water is retained in the blood using the balance of potassium and salt to do so. So as long as you have enough of both in your body then you should always have the amount of water your body needs.
I also read somewhere that milk is better to hydrate your body during and after a workout than water or gatoraid because of the potassium and salt in milk. I'll try to find that article.
