Reducing Sodium Intake Significantly Lowered Blood Pressure

Results of a randomized trial presented today at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2023, AHA 2023, which compared the effects of high-sodium and low-sodium diets on blood pressure in adults, found that following a low-sodium diet significantly lowered blood pressure in 70%-75% of participants in as little as one week, including people currently taking blood pressure medications. The findings were simultaneously published in The Journal of the American Medical Association, JAMA.
