How can high absorption of salt fro the diet leading to high salt concentration in local capillaries lead to build-up of tissue fluid?

High salt lowers the water potential of the tissue fluidLess water enters the capillaries at the venue end through osmosis
Remember - Osmosis is the transport of water from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration without the use of energy.
