Question

Why should a person with high blood pressure take less salt

Answer 1

Answer:

Eat less salt to lower blood pressure. Eating too much salt is the biggest cause of high blood pressure - the more salt you eat, the higher your blood pressure will be.

Salt makes your body retain water. If you eat too much, the extra water stored in your body raises your blood pressure. This can be a particular problem if you have high blood pressure. Also, eating too much salt may mean that blood pressure medicines, such as diuretics, don't work as well.

Therefore cutting the amount of salt you eat is one of the quickest ways to lower your blood pressure (especially if you have high blood pressure). However this is easier said than done as most of the salt we consume is already in food that we eat
