7 clear signs you’re eating too much salt

Foods with high amount of sodium (think: chips, spaghetti sauce, and pepperoni pizza) make you feel thirstier, because sodium messes with the balance of fluid in your body, according to Harvard Health Publishing. If you had a day of eating more high-sodium food, try to drink a lot of water. Your body is probably craving water, so it can restore the salt balance in your cells. Thirst is only one sign of dehydration.
