Eating too much salt over the time damages the arteries that lead to the heart and in severe cases become clogged or burst! When this happens the heart is denied of oxygen and eventually the risk of getting a heart attack sets in. 3. It damages kidneys High salt intake means excess production of sodium which is known to damage the kidneys.
