Does anyone know for sure if salt [normal] elevates your blood pressure ?
My elder brother pours the salt on everything, far far to much, he has elevated blood pressure and has to take pills for it.
I've been doing the " lite salt " thing for a while now, i am 53 and have had no blood pressure issues ever, its always good the doc says, he is getting a bit old and forgetfull , but always after he does my blood pressure and says good, and every time he says " of course you don't smoke do you ? " and i say yes, i do doc, remember, then he just buries his head and starts writting out any scripts.

I know smoking is no good ,and i dont recommend anyone starting to either, so please no lectures, i get plenty of that and also since given up the beer, which i really enjoyed, believe me, it has brought the blood pressure down even a bit further.
I do think that blood pressure is very important, i think they call it " the silent killer ".
