Could salt be causing your raised blood pressure?

from The Naked Heart · host eleatham

As only 10% of patients with high blood pressure are 'salt sensitive' (meaning that the blood pressure fails to fall in 90% of hypertensives, when salt intake is greatly reduced), it  seems plausible that consuming high levels of sodium from a young age can “programme” the cardiovascular system to maintain higher blood pressure later in life.
