Doctors have repeatedly reported the dangers of salt and its negative impact on human pressure. Salt consumption linked to high blood pressure, experts say.

New experiment shows no direct link between salt intake and blood pressure. Thus, salt does not have a significant effect on the development of hypertension.. Previously, doctors recommended giving up salt to prevent the most common chronic disease in the world.

In the course of the study, scientists analyzed data from 8670 volunteers from France and determined that salt cannot be considered the main cause of hypertension.. The experts found that the diet of hypertensive patients did not have more salt than in the diet of healthy people..

It turned out that alcohol consumption, weight, age, body mass index have a greater influence on blood pressure.. In addition, the pressure decreases if a person includes vegetables, fruits in the diet, and also increases the amount of physical activity..

The pressure also decreases if a person loses excess weight..

The study showed that systolic pressure was higher in people with a higher body mass index. Alcohol consumption was also affected. But salt had nothing to do with systolic pressure..
