But a previous study in 1997, Dr. Matthew R. Weir, a University of Maryland School of Medicine researcher in Baltimore, stressed the importance of dietary salt restriction for people of all races that have high blood pressure. According to the result of a clinical trial, lowering salt intake help ensure that hypertension medications work better in many races -African Americans, Hispanic Americans and Caucasians, so support salt intake control for protection against hypertension.
What does the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) guidelines on what should be a healthy level of salt in our daily diet say? WHO technical report on primary prevention of essential hypertension and the joint WHO/FAO report on diet, nutrition and the prevention of chronic diseases state that the intake goal for salt should be less than 5 grams a day.
DASH diet is rich in vegetables, fruits, and low fat dairy foods and low in saturated fat, total fat, and cholesterol and it stands for “Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension”, a multi-centre 14-week feeding study.
For the usual diet, reducing sodium intake from higher to lower levels decreased systolic blood pressure by an average of 6.7 mm Hg and diastolic by an average of 3.5mm Hg.
In another National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI)-supported clinical study, the lower the amount of sodium in the diet, the lower the blood pressure, for both those with and without hypertension. In fact, the greatest blood pressure reduction occurred with the “DASH diet”, at the lowest intake of dietary sodium.
