Which negative effects can a high sodium diet lead to?
1 doctor answer • 1 doctor weighed in
Is it ok to eat high sodium 1x per week? I have altered my diet to lower BP. I average 1000-1200 mg of sodium per day, but 1 day per week I will indulge and eat 3000-4000 mg. Will the 1 high sodium day prevent my BP from lowering on this diet?
