POWER – CONSUMPTION OF SALT AND BLOOD PRESSURE

the recommended daily consumption of salt in normotensive subjects should be less than 2300 mg / day. In fact, the normal population consumes around 3400 mg / day. A low-salt diet ( low salt content) in the order of 1500 mg / day to conduct 30 gg. generates , average , o7z1cb 3 a 7 o7z1cb. Obviously they are not taken into consideration in patients with hypertension drug treatment. There are no studies of large dimensions which demonstrate that a reduction of the consumption of salt reduces the risk of myocardial infarction. Over the years there have made various studies with correlation between salt intake and cardiovascular events that gave different results in percentage but also in indication. Recall that a normally functioning kidney adapts to significant contributions of salt while maintaining a constant blood pressure. We have not, however, a uniform response in all individuals. Some do not show any effect on systolic blood pressure while others are more affected after taking sodium.

CONCLUSIONS:

An analysis of the various studies available, we can say that reducing salt intake can reduce systolic blood pressure in both normotensive patients and in those with hypertension. However, there is now a direct demonstration that the magnitude of this reduction leads to a decrease in cardiovascular mortality.
