Patient's question:
What is the relationship between sodium and high blood pressure? What is the effect of sodium on high blood pressure? Can people with high blood pressure not eat sodium?Doctor's answer:
Sodium is sodium chloride, which is an essential edible salt in our daily lives. Experts often remind us that adults should not consume less than 6 grams per day. The elderly and children need to increase their intake even more. Hypertensive patients must keep their daily intake within 6 grams. It's better to eat a light diet. Of course, you can also have some meat in moderation. Because hypertension is caused by multiple different factors. I have discussed some of these before. A high-salt diet is one of the main causes of hypertension.
