Every second person you speak to seems complaining or
suffering from some sort of cardiovascular issues. Measuring blood pressure
indicates the force against the wall of the arteries, as well the pumping of
the heart.
Most people are of the opinion that salt is the biggest
culprit for cardiovascular disease, or at least they've been told so? The
theory that salt is bad for you and increases heart disease is an old hat and
been proven wrong for decades. To reduce salt too much has had a number of draw
backs and is affecting other things in your body.
There is strong evidence, that not salt is the main
issue for high blood pressure but incorrect potassium to sodium balance is. Not
having the right balance between the two of them increases the risk for
hypertension and heart disease by far more than salt or high levels of sodium
alone.
