Dietary sodium is a major determinant of urinary calcium loss (1) . High-sodium intake results in increased loss of calcium in the urine, possibly due to competition between sodium and calcium for reabsorption in the kidneys or by an effect of sodium on parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion.
A diet high in sodium contributes to high blood pressure in some people. Sodium holds excess fluid in your body, making your heart work harder to move more blood through your blood vessels. This increases pressure on your arteries.
