Post by: slickshot76 on Jan 19, 2018 Kyle's father loves to add salt to his food, but given the family's history of high blood pressure and stroke, he is trying to avoid this practice. Why is eating less salt important in controlling blood pressure?
a. Excess salt damages the kidneys, resulting in a buildup of fluids leading to high blood pressure. b. The kidneys get accustomed to higher levels of salt, interfering with their ability to monitor fluid levels properly. c. High levels of salt in the blood causes water to leave the cells and the higher blood volume increases blood pressure. d. Higher levels of salt intake stimulate overdrinking and the resulting higher blood volume leads to high blood pressure.
