Well that would make a lot of sense then, but is it unusual for a 16 year old boy to be experiencing this. And could this increase of salt intake be reduced by eating less sweets; like chocolate, ice cream, etc.?
You can usually find out the salt (sodium) content of the foods you eat. This is usually on the nutrition labels. Any food that has greater than 20 to 30% of your daily food intake is considered high in salt.
