We’ve all heard that salt may raise our blood pressure. Many people with high blood pressure have been advised to reduce their salt and caffeine intake as a result. But did you know that salt is also hiding in seemingly unlikely places? To quote the attached article, “A blueberry muffin can have more than double the salt of a serving of potato chips.” The researchers also note a link between reduced salt intake and reduced heart attacks and strokes. Regardless of whether you suffer from hypertension or not, please stick to a whole food diet rich in vegetables and fruits and avoid packaged and processed foods.
