Your “Normal” Sodium Might Not Be Safe

Turns out, having a 'normal' sodium level on your blood test doesn’t mean you’re in the clear. A massive 20-year study found that people with sodium levels at the higher end of normal (140 mmol/L or more) had a way higher risk of hypertension and heart failure—even if they’re otherwise healthy. Over half of adults fall into this higher-risk group! The wild part? It’s not just about salt—being a little dehydrated could be the real culprit. Time to grab that water bottle! #HeartHealth #Hydration #Wellness #HealthNews #BloodTest #Health
