matters needing attention

For people with high blood pressure, the salt in the dish should be reduced to half of the original. Because the composition of salt is sodium, one of the causes of hypertension is excessive blood volume. When the sodium intake is too much, the sodium content in the blood will increase. In order to maintain the osmotic pressure balance, the corresponding water will stay in the blood, resulting in increased blood volume, which is not conducive to blood pressure control. Therefore, people with hypertension should eat low salt.
