About 6 weeks ago I was diagnosed with high blood pressure. My Dr. wanted me to try a low sodium (1500 mg) before starting any meds. All my life I always had very low BP. I stayed within the range he told me and it still didn't drop. Just started meds.0

It's not the salt ON food that you have to worry about, it's the salt IN food (others have alluded to this very same thing).
Example: a medium order of McDonald's fries has 190 mg of sodium; a tablespoon of ketchup has 160 (and how many people use only 1 tablespoon of ketchup for an order of fries?)
a serving of Lays potato chips has 180 mg of sodium, a serving of jello instant chocolate pudding has 310.
as a pp said, read those nutrition labels!0 -

My BP went down by switching to a primal diet...no restriction of salt. Don't know if this is an option for you but my body's inability to properly handle carbs was ccaisong my insulin to raise my BP.0
