hypertension and salt

Only when the hypertension is not very severe, you can allow the use of special salts in the diet of hypertensive patients. Within the range of salts suitable for hypertension have the common salts that occur in specific amounts, modified salts with less sodium and dietary, have no sodium.

Here is a to once every type:

  • Common Sales: sales can be commercial or homemade.

Natrium: pills that are sold in pharmacies as medicine. Blister of aspirin are used to measure the amount of salt that we use on each plate. The filled blister equals 1 gram of salt.

  • Sales changed: they are commercially made (with trademarks). Its particularity is that they have low sodium content, ranging from 60 to 70% less than common salts. The specificity of these salts is modified to be added to the dishes once prepared and not during cooking.
  • Sales diet: are those that contain no sodium and are produced using ammonium chloride and potassium chloride. These salts can not eat people with kidney or liver problems for the content of chlorides. Like its predecessors, are added to the dishes already prepared, because if you add in cooking leaves a nasty taste of metal.
