What you should Avoid for Blood Pressure (Hypertension)

Avoid salt for heart disease: salt shaker on a table and salt grains next to it.

Avoid sodium for Blood Pressure (Hypertension)

Salt or sodium is bad for health because it stiffens and narrows the blood vessels which increases blood pressure. 

The American Heart Association limits sodium consumption to 2,300 milligrams (mgs) a day. An ideal limit is not more than 1,500 mg per day for most adults.
