It's not simply the salt.
American diet gets enough blame but far too little attention is paid to the overall lifestyle. Nikkas don't move anymore
Human beings weren't meant to sit down for 8+ hours a day but what do most Americans do? You sit in a car to drive to work, if you work at a desk you sit there all day, then nikkas go home and sit down watching TV till they sleep and repeat the cycle. Sitting is literally killing nikkas.
Humans were built to walk, run, squat, and jump. Get yo ass up
Nikkas also seem to hate water. Americans eat fast food all week and get drunk every weekend then everybody's shocked when a nikka drops death at 46. Organs dried up and struggling because you can't even bother to drink a liter of water a day
We need salt to survive. But if your most significant movement of the day is walking to the car and the bathroom and Sprite is your main source of hydration you got some hard times ahead
