The study is the first to show that changing salt intake over just two weeks can ease airway inflammation and better facilitate the flow of oxygen to the bloodstream. According to the study's author, high-salt diets have a number of physiological effects, such as increased blood pressure and blood volume that can cause pulmonary swelling that, in turn, results in airway obstruction.

Too much or too little salt in the diet can lead to muscle cramps, dizziness, or even an electrolyte disturbance, which can cause severe, even fatal, neurological problems. Drinking too much water, with insufficient salt intake, puts a person at risk of water intoxication. Salt is even sometimes used as a health aid, such as in treatment of dysautonomia.
