Salty Diets Over The Long Term Tied To High Blood Pressure...
Dear Reader,
Are you sure you want those chips? Regularly eating salty foods over even just a few years might do enough damage to your blood vessels to leave you with high blood pressure according to a new study.
The work appears in the online edition of Circulation and finds that eating more salt than you should over the long run likely affects the lining of blood vessels, and this ups the risk that you'll develop high blood pressure.
The notion that salt has an impact on whether you get high blood pressure is still controversial. One study appearing in 2011 in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that less sodium in urine was linked with more heart disease deaths.
The researchers for this latest work kept track of the salt intake for 5,556 men and women from the Netherlands for just about 6 years. The subjects, all white, were free of high blood pressure at the start of the study.
By looking at 24-hour urine samples that were collected over several years, the team noted how much uric acid and albumin was in the samples - both are markers for blood vessel damage. They could also keep track of sodium intake.
The researchers, led by Dr. John Forman who is assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, found that over time those who took in the most sodium had higher levels of both uric acid and albumin in their urine. The higher the levels in the urine, the more likely these subjects were to develop high blood pressure, especially if they kept on eating the high sodium way. It may be that those who have markers for blood vessel damage are even more negatively impacted by a high salt diet than the rest of us.
By study's end there had been 878 new cases of high blood pressure. Those who ate the most sodium (6,200 mg a day) were 21% more likely to be diagnosed with high blood pressure than those taking in the least (2,200 mg a day).
If you had high uric acid and albumin levels and ate lots of salt, your chance of high blood pressure rose to 86%. The work showed an association between markers of damage to blood vessels and high blood pressure, not a cause and affect relationship.

Salty Diets Over The Long Term Tied To High Blood Pressure... Continued...
In case you're wondering, 2,200 milligrams of salt is about one teaspoon. Experts
advise limiting your sodium intake to under 2,300 mg per day, 1,500 mg day if
you are black, over 50 or have a chronic disease.
How might salt do such damage to blood vessels isn't fully understood as yet.
It may be that exposure to sodium brings progressive changes in the lining that,
over time, cannot be reversed. Once you have high blood pressure, cutting salt
won't be enough to bring your numbers down.
Keep in mind that of the sodium we take in each day comes not just from the salt
shaker, far more comes from processed foods. A cup of soup or single serve frozen
dinner can bring as much as 1,000 milligrams of sodium in a single portion. You're
best bet to prevent high blood pressure from being a part of your life is enjoying
everything in moderation, and keeping a watchful eye on other cardiovascular
risks. Stay away from a high salt diet. Don't smoke. Keep your weight under control,
your cholesterol down and your blood pressure managed.
To your good health,
