A member asked:
What is the best salt substitute for someone with hbp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herbs/spices: Herbs and spices are safer than "Light Salt" which is potassium chloride. Some blood pressure medications (ACE and ARB type) cause retention of potassium, and if you add additional potassium it can affect your heart. Touch base with your MD so you understand any limitations due to medications and diet.
