Can people with high blood pressure eat salt?

Patient's question:

I heard that people with high blood pressure cannot eat salt, and now I have high blood pressure. Hello, can people with high blood pressure eat salt?

Doctor's answer:

A high-salt diet can cause blood pressure to drop, so hypertensive patients must pay attention to a low-salt diet. When cooking, try to control the amount of salt used. If this affects the taste of the dish, you can consider adding some vinegar to enhance the saltiness. Hypertensive patients should also pay attention to eating more vegetables and fruits daily, while reducing the intake of greasy foods and some internal organs that can raise blood pressure. Regulating physical and mental health, maintaining personal hygiene, and avoiding bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity are also important.
