Salt sensitive hypertension

Written by: Dr. Rowena | Posted: Jul 17 2007

Q: Do salt substitutes (or potassium products) help BP improvements but still deliver flavor?

A: Salt substitutes will help lower blood pressure in those with salt sensitive hypertension. Salt substitutes also do a good job of enhancing flavor in cooked foods. Personally, I cook with fresh herbs and spices and rarely use any salt.
