a small washer was inserted between the water supply line and the existing showerhead. These worked poorly because pressures were reduced and existing heads did not deliver the desired feeling without the proper pressures. As a result, low-flow technologies got an undeservedly bad rap from which they are still trying to recover. New low-flow showerheads deliver only 1 to 2.5 gallons per minute.

The current recommended amount of sodium is set at 2,235mg per day which is about a teaspoon.

If one enters the body in excess then the brain automatically lets the body know that it needs more water to balance out the effect leading up to water retention.
