Do you feel better when you consume quite a bit of salt?

Asked by JLeslie (65446points) September 2nd, 2022 from iPhone

The last several years I’ve reduced my salt because of my blood pressure, and more recently my kidney function is borderline and supposedly salt is bad for the kidneys too.

I cheated the last few days and had some very salty foods, and I feel better. I feel stronger, more hydrated, I like it.

I wonder if salt really does contribute to high blood pressure and kidney problems. My blood pressure doesn’t seem to react, I’m not sure.
