    Too much sodium in the diet will cause excessive sodium ions to compete with calcium ions during renal tubular reabsorption, increasing the amount of calcium excretion. At the same time, sodium salt also stimulates human parathyroid glands, increasing the secretion of parathyroid hormone, thereby activating adenylate cyclase on the osteoclast membrane, destroying the dynamic balance of bone metabolism, and prone to osteoporosis or even fracture.
