People who suffer from hypertension (high blood pressure) are generally advised by doctors to reduce their intake of sodium chloride in their diet, this is so, because salt causes an increase in
osmotic pressure of the body fluids. Thus it may be assumed that the body of a person suffering from hypertension gets used to higher concentration of salt in their body fluids.
Your insatiable craving for salt, can be thus explained, Chacmool
