High Blood Pressure - Salt Does Not Help

Guest Post from Miss Guided

Let me preface this by saying I'm not a doctor or scientist, but I've seen two widely reported studies on the effects of salt in the last 10 years.
The first concluded that salt does not cause sustained high blood pressure, but merely causes a temporary increase when high salt content food is consumed. That study concluded that a salty diet was only dangerous to people who already have high blood pressure or have other risk factors making them prone to heart attacks, strokes, etc.
A high salt diet didn't lead to endemic high blood pressure, high cholesterol or any other increased long term risk. I don't see anything here that refutes this. I'm guessing those 100k increased deaths are mainly people who were already in those high risk groups and continued to consume a lot of salt.
Why should everyone have to alter their diet because a minority of people should avoid something? Whats wrong with educating those people to watch out for their own health?
What's next, outlawing peanuts? Mandating soy milk for everyone because some people are lactose intolerant?

I agree. Regular exercise trumps most dietary issues anyway. BTW, I've been using this online tool for keeping a record of my blood pressure readings. It's very handy (disclaimer: I wrote it).

To avoid the hidden salt and cut down your salt intake, it is best to eat foods that are low in salt and stop using salt when cooking or at the table.Maintaining a healthy weight helps blood pressure.

Imagine a garden hose. If there is little water pressure as you are trying to wash your car, the hose is flimsy and kinks easily. However, if there is high water pressure, the hose is firm, the water sprays out in greater amounts, and the hose may even burst. Your body's arteries and veins work in the same way. Blood pressure is basically the force exerted on the walls of your blood vessels.

I heard that a diet high in sodium and low in potassium can cause high blood pressure, so cutting down on salt and eating foods high in potassium could help control or even reverse this disease.
