Question

salty foods can cause ______ inside the body.

dehy dration

insulin starvation

fluid retention

fluid starvation

Explanation:

Salty foods contain a high amount of sodium. When a person consumes salty foods, the sodium level in the body increases. To maintain the balance of electrolytes (osmotic balance), the body retains water. This is because water moves towards the area with a higher concentration of solutes (in this case, sodium from salty foods). Dehydration is the loss of water, which is the opposite of what happens with salty food consumption. Insulin starvation is related to issues with insulin (not directly with salt intake). Fluid starvation is not a term related to the effect of salty foods.

Answer:

fluid retention
