How come eating too much salt causes a person to get really bad foot cramps? Why not Sodium and not Sugar?

Question: I'm just curious. I had recently ate a lot of pickles and peppercorn peppers (my favorite) and over this weekend right in the middle of the night, I woke up with a sharp pain from my right foot (foot cramp).

Answers:
Because Salt or sodium makes you retain water, that is why that happens, so it is always a good idea to lay off the salt. IM a Nursing student. Thanks
