No surprise there. As someone with hypertension, I no longer use salt, although dining out can be a problem as restaurants just love to put salt in their meals to improve the taste.
Just the same, eliminating all the salt over which I had control did absolutely nothing in terms of lowering my blood pressure.
My Doc told me to lay off salt because of HBP. 6 months later I went back and informed him I was tired all the time. After the blood test he told me my sodium level was to LOW.
Unfortunately my BP had not dropped. It’s all BS.
Next cholesterol.
People telling me what not to eat raises my blood pressure.
My brother’s first wife ate salt by the box full. He bought a box of salt a week for her.
She was a tiny woman and had good blood pressure.
If salt was the culprit, my BP would 190/120 instead of 115/65 because I love salt and use it copiously.
