There is one ingredient we all use and need that can spike blood pressure if taken in doses that are too large.
In fact, it’s so dangerous that this one ingredient contributes more to high blood pressure than being obese and most other strong risk factors.
The worst part is, most Westerners consume more than twice the recommended amount.
In July 2015, Japanese researchers published an article in the Journal of the American Heart Association that proved that people who ate a lot of sodium were much more likely to develop high blood pressure than those who ate little of it. While medical scientists have understood for years that a high sodium intake caused high blood pressure, this was the largest study that actually compared high sodium eaters with low sodium eaters.
The researchers followed 4,523 people with healthy blood pressure over a period of three and a half years, during which they periodically measured their blood pressure and calculated their sodium intake via urine tests. They also recorded details of their lifestyles to ensure that some other habits did not interfere with the result.
During these three and a half years, 22.7 percent of the participants developed high blood pressure (which is an alarming statistic all by itself). The blood pressure of those who consumed a lot of sodium was substantially more likely to increase than that of those who consumed little sodium.
Researchers found that even those who were obese were not as likely to experience an increase in blood pressure as those who ate a lot of sodium.
Scientists don’t understand the connection between sodium and blood pressure completely yet, but they know that the kidneys use sodium to regulate the amount of fluid in the body. If there is just enough sodium, your kidneys ensure that you have the appropriate amount of blood and cellular fluid.
If there is too much sodium, however, it bypasses the kidneys and enters your bloodstream directly by barging through artery walls. Once it is there, it dissolves in your blood and increases the amount of fluid in your body without the kidneys to prevent it. This puts a lot of pressure on your heart, because it must pump harder to circulate this excess fluid through your arteries. It also damages your arterial walls, as your arteries are not meant to hold so much fluid.
The American Heart Association recommends that we consume at most 1,500mg of sodium per day. The average person in most developed countries eats around 3,500mg per day.
Ninety percent of Americans consume too much sodium, and Europeans are probably similar as they eat approximately the same types of food.
One teaspoon of table salt holds between 1,500 and 2,000mg of sodium. Accordingly, you need to limit your salt intake to one teaspoon per day. If you think this is easy, think again.
Between 75 and 80 percent of our daily sodium consumption is from processed foods. Manufacturers normally add a lot of salt to food to increase its shelf life and to enhance its flavor. MSG (or monosodium glutamate), one popular flavor enhancer, is stuffed with sodium.
This means that you cannot really reduce your sodium consumption by adding less salt to your food at home. You must actually stop buying the foods that contain it.
Unfortunately, these include almost all packaged foods like soup, crispy potato chips, crackers, cereal, processed deli meat, bacon, canned food, and pre-made instant meals.
The solution for minimum sodium intake is to buy primarily fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, and whole unprocessed grains. This is how you can save yourself from high blood pressure.

SALT.
‘YOU ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH.’ ‘EARTHLING MAN.’ WE ARE OUT OF THE EARTH, AND OUR NEED FOR SALT IS ESSENTIAL.
Salt was so valuable that Roman soldiers were paid
with it. Thats where the word salary comes from (salaria). Wars have been fought over it, the nomads tracking across deserts knew the value of salt. Peoples throughout the ages and in all parts of the world have treasured salt as part of their diet, and for good reasons, not only did it flavour their food, it also preserved it, and through experience over millenia they knew how valuable salt was for their well being.
Then all of a sudden in these ‘enlightened’ times, ‘salt’ has become a virtual poison? Natural salt compared to that supermarket poison is more than just salt, it is filled with minerals and nutrients and trace elements by the score, making it more than just a salt, it is a ‘food.’ The health gurus have to find something that they can blame for this or that ailment, …when
the cause of ALL our problems are THEM.
They have ‘demonised’ natural fat that man has been eating for millenia, they have made sunshine an enemy, when many peoples all around the world have been living under it virtually stark naked all of their lives with absolutely no records of skin cancer affecting them? Now salt? Natural fat and foods are forbidden, as are salt and sunshine, and we have the sickest society ever known, this is a deliberate policy of deceit by the powers that be. Indoctrinating the masses with lies and skullduggery, the ‘healthy’ eating programmmes are nothing more than a slow kill eugenics on the world population to keep the numbers down, and to sterilise millions of people, as is proven by sperm counts across the globe falling at an alarming rate. Air, water, food, salt, are all critical to we humans, and ALL of them are poisoned in the extreme, add it all up, and this tells us what those in power are up to, and this is so important that it should not be taken
with a pinch of salt. 75% of the body is water, so what should we drink most of each day? But they have us drinking ANYTHING as long as it is not pure water. 27% of our bodies are salt, most of it in the bone structure, and they have demonised it, so that some people will not eat it at all. When the body is deprived of salt, it cannibalises itself to survive, so it takes the salt from our skeletal structure, that is why many people, especially when they get older have brittle bones, also that ‘stoop’ because thay have deprived their body of that critical ingredient salt. One of the best salts on the market is ‘Himalayan Salt’ it has 84 vitamins and minerals and trace elements. It is a powerhouse of good for the body. It actually lowers blood pressure. The ‘establishment’ is our enemy, don’t listen to them.
My response to someone questioning the above.
Cole Haley – The importance of salt to we humans is as important as air, water, and
food. Like all of those just mentioned the quality of them is important to. To drink water that comes down from a pristine mountain exploding itself as it descends through the rock structure accumulating minerals is highly prized in this day and age, and rightly so. For past generations this was natural to many, as was the food, and the air was far purer than it is today. Those people proved to be robust and healthy. not like the sickly, obese, cancer, athritic, diabetic, heart disease ridden society that we have today. Salt has been esteemed by many peoples for millenia, and it is crucial to our diet and well being. It regulates the water in the cells, when people have been denied salt in experiments, they start to lose cohesion, their memory is affected, if continued death would be the end result. In emergency’s situations, accidents, etc, the first thing that is given to those so injured are Saline Solutions, that is how important salt is to the
body. Like anything, it can be mis-used, and the quality and processing of it can change it into a toxin to the body.
Cole Haley – What is the right water to drink? with or without minerals? Totally distilled? Filtered? If we are to go down that road of a scientific, chemically analysed tsunami of what do we drink, I am afraid we will end up with the most polluted, fluoridated, chlorine, and a host of other chemicals that are our present day water supply that those
scientific “experts” have already poisoned a planet with. What is far more reliable, is our past, and how people survived with the basic essentials of life, without the aid of those ‘experts’ who are destroying this planet, and poisoning everything and everyone upon it. Your molecular reasoning does not impress me sir, what does impress me are the ordinary, the reasonable, and the reality of those who have lived with the basic essentials of life in all parts of the world for generations without harm. Its their water I want to drink, and their kind of food I want to eat, and to flavour it with salt to my taste, and maybe eat an apple after the main course, an apple that has arsenic in its seeds. If I was to dissect every possibility and probability, and look at the molecular structure of all that I eat, I would not eat anything, life would not be worth living. The modern day guru’s of the establishment advising goverments on what and what not to eat are
guilty of killing untold millions, and causing enormous health problems and all the suffering that goes with it. That is the legacy of those who seek the scientific solution with their seemingly impressive chemical formula’s.
Regular table salt is so over processed with nutrients removed it is not good. Also, the so-called iodized salt does not allow what little iodine is in the salt to be used by the body.
Go with Celtic or Himalayan salts instead. They do clump up so put in a container with that in mind.
