A member asked:
I have weight gain and high blood pressure if eat anything salt. will sensitivity get worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. More salt: bad: More doctors are emphasizing the avoidance of salt. The pritikin program (very famous) is emphasizing the problems with blood pressure and heart disease with excess salt. Weight gain (both obesity and fluid retention) sometimes comes with eating salty food. Avoid adding salt. Look at salt content in the foods you eat.
