Detailed explanation-1: -Sodium intake from processed and restaurant foods contributes to high rates of high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke. Because nearly 500, 000 deaths each year are related to high blood pressure, reducing sodium intake could prevent thousands of deaths annually.
Detailed explanation-2: -Eating too much sodium can raise your risk of high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke. The good news is that cutting down on sodium can help lower your blood pressure and keep your heart healthy.
Detailed explanation-3: -If you have high blood pressure, Stathos says reducing sodium with a low sodium diet is a priority.
