by the levels of sodium and potassium in the body. If sodium is too high, blood pressure will be too high. If potassium is too high, blood pressure will be too low. And aldosterone is the chemical that regulates all of this. It’s a delicate balance.

...so I cut down on salt. I cut down too much and ended up in the urgent care. It made me feel really woozy and sleepy. At one point I felt like I was ready to pass out.

According to the expert, there is a direct correlation between salt and blood pressure: the consumption of salt raises blood pressure. “This is because if you have more salt in your diet, you will naturally have more water in your circulatory system and increase your body's intravascular volume,”

It is habit forming but I have found it to be a habit I can easily break.

It wasn't so hard to reduce. But read every label, it's shocking how much salt is in stuff. Even a slice of bread. Especially anything takeout, prepared or at a restaurant. But in a week, you start to lose your taste for salt and you'll be amazed at how inedibly salty your old foods will seem.

I love the flavor of foods that is revealed when you back off on the salt.

Put some on my eggs in the morning,along with black pepper and herb's de province.

Most prepared foods are too damn salty, don't like it.french fries have salt to the point they make my lips dry out, and crack don't eat them.

I have high blood pressure and low blood pressure it fluctuates up and down. Was sent to a cardiac unit to find out why. They don't know

But I take meds for blood pressure anyway.
When it gets low I feel like passing out and have passed out from it.
First thing I assume is my blood sugar levels are low. But if sugar is okay it's my blood pressure fucking me up,so I eat a little salt and after awhile I feel better.
