Diet question: I know that most people are advised not to take in too much sodium in their normal diets. Canned or pre-prepared foods usually have a lot of sodium even if they're low in fat or otherwise healthy/nutritious. Why is it bad to have too much sodium? And if you're running and sweating a lot, is it harmful to have a extra sodium (by a extra, I mean maybe %150 of the normal daily recommendation, not like drinking salt water every day).
