If you suffering from high blood pressure, your physician as well as everybody else puts the major blame on salt.
But, don’t throw out your salt shaker yet! A new research at Copenhagen University Denmark has found out something very significant and interesting regarding salt and high blood pressure.
The U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a daily salt intake of less than 1500 milligrams for adults over 50 years and less than 2300 milligrams for people within 50 years.
The study based in Copenhagen University in Denmark however analyzed 25 studies conducted earlier and discovered something quite different.
The study points out that while excessive salt intake did result in higher risk of developing stroke and heart disease, low salt intake was equally harmful.
They identified that moderate amount of salt and the safe range recommended to be 2645 – 4945 milligrams/day, which is significantly higher than the amount suggested by CDC.
So as long as you’re consuming a moderate amount of salt in a day (2645 – 4945 milligrams/day), there is no need for any dietary changes, the study has revealed.

Tired of all the findings about HP., Cholesterol and Type 2. Opinions have changed so much in the last 15 years. Body produces cholesterol because we need it. Medication is a fraud. 74 feeling great, no pills for me thanks
Sea salt, yes. Refined white salt is quite toxic for me. It raises my blood pressure at least 20 points.
The quantity recommended for per day intake is not very significant.However, I rather would like to have expert opinion on how will it affect if salt intake is totally stopped after 60 yrs of age.
i had no problem until i got the flu when i was 74.my BP went up after i had to take med for cough . that is when the doctor said i had to take bp med. for the rest of my life. here i am now 81, and so far my blood pressure has been normal. i still don't like the idea i have to take the med 12.5mg every day, the doctor said this is what i have to do if i don;t want to get a stroke. so now i am scared, still taking the med.
Going without salt entirely is dangerous. Your body needs this stuff in moderation.
