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

    Just wondering why sodium doesn't effect some people and others appear bloated/puffy after a high sodium intake..no fair!

    I know this sounds very strange, but I recently ran out of organic sodium and started using ordinary supermarket table salt.

    I swear this changed has increased puffiness, so I will go back to the organic stuff.

    Going to buy some organic salt tomorrow to see whether it is the table salt

    OK - will take 3 days to know (another reason why I think it is processed sodium is my non-fat cheese does the same thing (very high in processed sodium), even though whey and casein shakes do not, and nor does milk)

    Just the same as some people are lactose intolerant or allergic to some foods, different people, different gastric systems.

    Don't know, but I do know going on testosterone, either as AAS or even TRT can result in excessive water retention, especially with higher salt intakes.

    maybe this interferes with the kidney's ability to process sodium?

    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.

    That explains why I bloat when I consume table salt, or processed salt in cheese, but not organic sea salt.

    The only shame is iodized table salt may be useful for human health (iodine is one of those hard to get nutrients, and iodine deficiencies should not be courted lightly)

    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.

    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.
