#7 Salt
Most of us love salt. We pile it onto foods like French fries, popcorn, vegetables and probably about a thousand other things. Salt can cause fluid retention when excess levels get backed up in the digestive system and the kidneys. One result can be increased blood pressure, which can lead to serious health problems that often go right along with being overweight. Too much can slow the body’s digestive processes down, and can result in weight gain.
