A member asked:
I heard that a low salt diet is good if you have high blood pressure. how much salt/sodium intake is too much?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Not everyone is salt sensitive. Also, potassium which is found in fruit and vegetables helps balance the sodium. Eating lots of fruit and vegetables can help blood pressure. Also magnesium supplementation can help.
