Is is true that taking table SALT could cause hypertension, stroke and ballooning of the blood vessel?

Question

Kidney failure, heart attach, heart swelling, bursting of the artery etch . I read that during the process of getting rid of the excess salt the kidney need high pressure and send signal to raise blood pressure. Is it true that many processed food contain very high doses of salt that overpass the daily safe doese recommended for health?

Answer 1

That is probably true,however you do need salt for good health,but table salt is not the right kind,Sea salt is better for you.There is a book by David Brownstein called Salt your Way To Good Health,i think is the name of it.Just punch in his name and his website will come up,along with his books for sale.Iodine is a very important nutrient,needed for thyroid health.Sea salt has iodine in it.There are many natural food suppliments and herbs that help flush the kidneys and that are good for cardiovascular health.Check out the book Perscription For Nutritional Healing.

Answer 2

This is no longer accepted as medically sound.

I actually heard a prominent physician say after the salt-causes-hypertension theory had been debunked, We can’t tell people we were wrong about this because then they won’t believe us in the future. Which, of course, begs the question, if you’re telling them the wrong things why should they believe you.

Answer 3

I have congestive heart failure---the first thing that happened was I was taken TOTALLY OFF SALT ... I cannot eat ANYTHING out of a jar a box or a can because SODIUM is used as a preservative... I cannot use table salt nor can I eat ANYTHING that is made using table salt or sea salt .... I use something called NO SALT which is potassium based and tastes a little like salt on acid.... it takes a bit of getting used to, but WITH salt, I retain water like crazy and blow up horribly--which is what caused my congestive heart failure AND my pulmonary HYPERTENSION as well (fluid backed up because 1/2 of my heart enlarged and walls thickened and fluid backed up in my lungs and I almost literally DROWNED on myself.... I'll be on lasix for life and well I'm terminal so yepper, salt CAN do a number on you....but MODERATION and good physical health and diet should help but TRY to lessen salt intake anyway you can...

Dietary sodium chloride and potassium have effects on the pathophysiology of hypertension in humans and animals

L Tobian
Department of Internal Medicine, University of Minnesota Hospital, Minneapolis 55455, USA. [e-mail]

A diet high in NaCl can raise blood pressure in susceptible people and animals, probably by similar mechanisms. The possibly harmful effects of a high-NaCl diet are not unexpected because both prehistoric humans and mammals evolved in a low-NaCl environment. Evolutionary forces molded mammals to adapt well to a low sodium intake; modern high NaCl intakes go against this adaptation. A high-NaCl diet can cause premature mortality by raising blood pressure in susceptible people. We have new evidence that in hypertension, a high-NaCl diet can cause a great increase in mortality even though it does not cause a further blood pressure rise, partially because of multiple small cerebral infarcts. Recent evidence also indicates that a high-potassium diet reduces the rise of blood pressure caused by a high-NaCl diet, whereas a low-normal potassium intake encourages an NaCl-induced blood pressure rise. The combination of a tendency by the kidneys to retain NaCl together with a high NaCl intake can produce a blood pressure rise. This combination tends to cause NaCl retention, which can trigger blood pressure rises in susceptible humans and animals. Such blood pressure rises can augment renal NaCl excretion and regain the previous NaCl balance. In Dahl salt-sensitive rats several renal abnormalities encourage sodium retention. By analogy, renal "abnormalities" are probably present in people susceptible to hypertension.

Answer 5

Yes this is all true. The answer is to avoid processed foods and get yourself some Celtic Sea Salt, or even better, Himalayan Salt, here is a website that tells about it http://www.himalayancrystalsalt.com/html/our_products.html

I use the Himalayan Salt and my family loves it.

Answer 6

Yes this is why companies and the military stopped giving them out. Use to be you were required to take them
