Why is na actually bad?

#1

So I did some research about NA (Sodium), so basically
according to my research consuming too much sodium can lead to adverse health effects. One of the primary concerns is its association with elevated blood pressure. High sodium intake is linked to an increased risk of hypertension, which, in turn, raises the likelihood of developing cardiovascular diseases, such as heart disease and stroke.

The reason behind this is that too much sodium in the body can cause the retention of water, leading to an expansion of
blood volume. As a result, the heart has to work harder to pump blood through the blood vessels, putting strain on the cardiovascular systen over time.

Numerous studies have highlighted the correlation between high sodium intake and hypertension. The World Health Organization recommends limiting sodium intake to less than 2-3 grams per day, as part of efforys to prevent cardiovascular diseases. This guideline aligns with broader public health initiatives advocating for reduced sodium consumption.

In addition to cardiovascular concerns, excessive sodium intake has been linked to other health issues, including kidney problens and increased calcium loss in the urine, which may impact bone health.

Perhaps Sodium intake should be taken seriously and should be monitored the same way as sweets.

You’d think sugar is bad but if you look at sodium its a whole other level

It's because EU (Europium) is actually so cool in comparison to NA. As far as metals go it's one of the more unique ones and is actually relatively non-toxic in comparison to other rare metals. Frankly it just kind of clears sodium in terms of looks and versatility (although the only thing NA has is that it tastes better in combination with chlorine).

Bromine is toxic because it is a highly reactive element that can interfere with various biological processes in the human body. When bromine compounds are ingested, inhaled, or come into contact with skin, they can disrupt cell membranes, interfere with enzyme activity, and cause damage to tissues.

One of the primary mechanisms of bromine toxicity is its ability to compete with iodine in the body. Both bromine and iodine are halogens, and they can compete for uptake by the thyroid gland, which is crucial for the production of thyroid hormones. If bromine displaces iodine in the thyroid gland, it can lead to thyroid dysfunction and disrupt the regulation of metabolism.

Additionally, bromine compounds can also cause irritation to the respiratory system, skin, and eyes. Inhalation of bromine vapors can lead to respiratory distress, including coughing, shortness of breath, and lung irritation. Skin contact with bromine can cause burns, irritation, and dermatitis.
