I agree with previous posts about MSG in certain foods- some people have strong reactions to it. However, keep in mind that if you are eating too much salt and not enough water your body will start to retain fluids. It is possible to have extreme water retention and not see the puffiness in your hands and feet. The next time you go to the bathroom, check your urine. Concentrated urine (very yellow or orange-like) is a sign of water retention. Drink lots of water if you are going to consume salts. The excess water will then come out through your urine and remember--where water goes salt follows thereby reducing that puffy, bloated feeling.
