Chloride is found in many chemicals and other substances in the body. It is one of the components of salt used in cooking and in some foods. Chloride is needed to keep the proper balance of body fluids and an essential part of digestive (stomach) juices. Chloride is found in table salt or sea salt as sodium chloride, and also found in many vegetables. Foods with higher amounts of chloride include seaweed, rye, tomatoes, lettuce, celery, and olives. Too little chloride can occur when the body loses a lot of fluids, and may be due to heavy sweating, vomiting, or diarrhea. Medicines such as diuretics can also cause low chloride levels. Too much chloride from salted foods can; increase blood pressure, or cause a buildup of fluid in people with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis, or kidney disease.
