what's wrong with salt, anyway?
|
Excessive salt can make
high blood pressure worse. It causes water retention, which makes your
heart work harder than it has to. The National High Blood Pressure
Education Program recommends no more than 2,400 mg per day (the amount
in about 1 teaspoon of table salt). On average, Americans consume
4,000 to 6,000 milligrams of sodium daily
