Can people with high blood pressure eat low-sodium salt?

Patient's question:

I have hypertension. I don't like using low-sodium salt when I cook. Can people with hypertension eat low-sodium salt?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your description, it appears that patients with hypertension can consume low-sodium salt. However, it is not recommended to add too much salt to your dishes, as a high-salt diet may increase the likelihood of hyperlipidemia. Hyperlipidemia is one of the contributing factors to hypertension. The daily diet of patients with hypertension should be based on a light diet. It is recommended to eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, which may be helpful.
