Question: How to get reduce sodium in our body.? is sodium really dangerous..?
Answers:
You can reduce your sodium intake by reading food labels, and not eating a lot of soup, top ramen, potatoe chips, and fast foods that contain a lot of salt (sodium chloride).

Your body does not naturally contain sodium and it must come from the foods you eat. It's important for the proper functioning of your nerves and muscles, and your body contains sodium "pumps". Without sodium, your muscles would not be able to contract. But high sodium can cause hypertension, or high blood pressure, which can be VERY dangerous, and lead to heart attack and stroke.
This happens because sodium increases fluid in your blood, and higher fluid levels "press" against your blood vessels.
