When I was 20 I could drink, live on 2hrs sleep, eat junk and stay thin and work 20hrs a day.
Now at 40 I can’t drink without a week long hangover. I eat one wafer and put on 10 stone. I sleep 12hrs and still feel like shit.
Is this normal?

How does sodium affect energy levels? Indirectly via blood pressure? Or is it just part of being a bit healthier overall?
Both. My blood pressure was terrible by the time I turned 40 from too many years of partying and eating garbage. Cutting sodium alone helped with blood pressure, but it also kind of forces you to limit your calorie intake as well so it helped me lose weight too
Yeah and I bet a lot of food that’s generally bad for you has loads of salt in it
100% yes! Lots of processed foods and fast food especially are LOADED with sodium. I was surprised that even things that didn’t taste salty like microwave meals still had tons of sodium in them
You’ll also eat less processed food, which is definitely a good change.
