Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Consuming a large amount of salt can lead to an increase in blood volume due to osmosis. Salt draws water out of cells and into the bloodstream, which then increases the blood volume. This can temporarily increase blood pressure as well. However, if this becomes a chronic habit, it can contribute to hypertension and other health problems. The other options are not correct as consuming salt would not cause a significant shift in pH, hypotension, or increased osmolality of blood.
