Since you were little, you've heard that eating too much salt can be bad for you. You've heard that you should avoid "salty" foods or that foods high in salt are "bad."

But you're still not sure what counts as a "high salt" diet. You also work out, and you know that you lose some salt through sweat. So is it okay to eat more?
