Salt And Hypertension

Salt may be a mineral composed primarily of common salt (NaCl), a compound belonging to the larger class of salts; salt in its natural form as a crystalline mineral is understood as halite or halite. Salt is present in vast quantities in seawater, where it's the most mineral constituent. The open ocean has about 35 grams (1.2 oz) of solids per liter of sea water, a salinity of three .5%.

Hypertension (HTN or HT), also referred to as high vital sign (HBP), may be a long-term medical condition during which the vital sign within the arteries is persistently elevated. High vital sign typically doesn't cause symptoms. Long-term high vital sign , however, may be a major risk factor for arteria coronaria disease, stroke, coronary failure , fibrillation , peripheral arterial disease, vision loss, chronic renal disorder , and dementia.

High vital sign is assessed as primary (essential) hypertension or high blood pressure . About 90–95% of cases are primary, defined as high vital sign thanks to nonspecific lifestyle and genetic factors. Lifestyle factors that increase the danger include excess salt within the diet, excess weight , smoking, and alcohol use.
