When salt is ingested, it’s dissolved in the blood as two separate ions – Na + and Cl −. The water potential in blood will decrease due to the increased solutes, and blood osmotic pressure will increase. While the kidney reacts to excrete excess sodium and chloride in the body, water retention causes blood pressure to increase. [10]
A 2020 Cochrane systematic review [75] concludes that for white people with hypertension, reducing salt intake results in a decrease of about 4 mmHg (about 3.5%) of their blood pressure; for people with normal blood pressure, the decrease was negligible. Weak evidence indicated that these effects might be a little greater in black and Asian people.

For the new analysis, researchers focused on 157 women and 454 men who had healthy blood pressure levels and were given food either with the usual amount of salt or with a salt substitute.
The treatment of hyponatremia depends on the underlying cause. [12] How quickly treatment is required depends on a person's symptoms. [12] Fluids are typically the cornerstone of initial management. [12] In those with severe disease an increase in sodium of about 5 mmol/L over one to four hours is recommended. [12]
Eating a low-salt diet cut blood pressure readings by as much as the typical hypertension medication without the potential side effects, a new study found. Cutting 1 teaspoon of salt works as well ...
