How it works
Lower sodium reduces fluid retention and decreases the volume of blood the heart must pump, directly lowering blood pressure.
People with certain kidney conditions should discuss target sodium levels with their doctor before making drastic reductions.
Extensive evidence from meta-analyses confirms sodium reduction of 1,000mg/day lowers systolic BP by approximately 5–6 mmHg.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
