I ate sauerkraut fish yesterday, and then my lower limbs became swollen, and my eyes were swollen this morning. Was it too salty?

    Eating too salty will affect your health, and salt will cause the body to swell. Due to too much salt, sodium will accumulate in the body, and sodium is hydrophilic, so it causes edema and increases the burden on the kidneys.
