Doctors say that the tendency to high blood pressure, when Hypertension you need to eat more potassium and less salt. Parents try to follow these recommendations, although with today's prices for bananas, dried apricots and other potassium-rich foods, pensioners can rarely afford.

... Reducing salt intake is really beneficial for people with high blood pressure if they receive it in excess. Sodium delays water in the body, excess fluid leads to edema and worsening of the cardiovascular system.
A salt with a reduced sodium content is able to eliminate the risk of developing hypertension, urolithiasis, osteoporosis.
The burden on the kidneys and heart is reduced. Such salt can be consumed by pregnant, nursing mothers, children, especially suitable for people with obesity, diabetes, hypertension.
Sodium is found in sausages, sausages, cheeses, canned goods, milk, fast food, soy sauce, fish, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, chips ... It is necessary gradually to accustom yourself to eat less salt, and eventually the body will get used. To improve the taste of dishes without salt, add herbs, herbs, dill, parsley, pepper, citrus juice, olive oil. Drink plenty of water. Be healthy!!!
