Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If there is too much salt in your cells ____
A
you need more water
B
you need to lose water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Drinking more water will help neutralize the sodium and rehydrate the cells throughout your body. If you are feeling thirsty or nauseated or have diarrhea or stomach cramps, too much sodium could be the culprit. Drink more water!

Detailed explanation-2: -When cells are exposed to high levels of salt (sodium chloride) they lose water by osmosis and shrink. The cytoplasm condenses and the movement of cellular components, such as the cytoskeleton and organelles, stops.

Detailed explanation-3: -Drink More Water Hydration is extremely important. Consuming sufficient water can help your body remove excess sodium from your body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Salt poisoning is an intoxication resulting from the excessive intake of sodium (usually as sodium chloride) in either solid form or in solution (saline water, including brine, brackish water, or seawater).

Detailed explanation-5: -Increased Risk of Dehydration If you eat a high-sodium diet without increasing your fluid intake, your body is forced to pull water from other cells. This can increase your risk of being dehydrated.
