What exactly does Sodium do to the human body.
Is it bad for humans to intake excess sodium?

In short, sodium does a lot.

Its required in neurotransmission, blood filtration by the kidney, maintaining osmolality (which maintains blood volume among other things), etc etc

Its required for virtually every process in your body in some way or another.

As for excess sodium levels, it can exascerbate heart disease, but outside of pathological states and excessive intake your body is really good at regulating it, so its not a huge concern, however it would be best to review the scientific literature for the specific disease or process you are interested in to find the implications for human health.

oh jeez, no I take vitamins and eat healthy.

I just salt my food a bit heavy somtimes. So,. I am trying to prevent high blood pressure. tbh

Excess sodium is only bad if you have no potassium to balance it out. Your body rids excess through the kidneys. Tomato juice, spinach, bananas, and coconut water all have huge amounts of potassium.

I don't eat excess tomato because of acid reflex.
