Does Sodium INCREASE your Fat ?

[tcw]

Hey Buds,

Was sitting here....eating my chicken sandwhich (leftovers from a bird i roasted yesterday) and the thought occured to me about Sodium.

1. How much "affect" does Sodium have on your Fat Content?
2. How Does Sodium affect your present Fat Cells---do they Grow faster because of Sodium?
3. What should your sodium intake be per day?
   

Was looking at some of the things i eat...and thought about how i can DECREASE the size of my Fat Cells?
*(everyone knows you can't burn fat cells off....you have them forever. You can reduce the size of your Fat Cells...but they are always there....waiting to show their ugly faces...bahhahaa).

ME thinks there is some correlation between Sodium Intake and the size of your Fat Cells.

What say YOU?

I donna no?



Help a brotha out?
Thanks!

No they're not related.

Between 2-4k sodium is the sweet spot according to an article I read (can't remember where it was). Unless you have hypertension in which case it needs to be watched closely.

You will just retain more fluid ... Look smooth and feel like shit.

Somewhere in the two thousand range should be fine. I find that I need to keep an eye on marinades and how many Monster energy drinks I chug down...... Those things add up quick!
