Stunning as it may sound, nearly half of Americans ages 20 years and up – or more than 122 million people – have high blood pressure, according to a 2023 report from the American Heart Association. 

In this lesson I will share the worst blood pressure advice given to you from your doctor, the real cause of high blood pressure, and easy steps to naturally lower high blood pressure. 

Most doctors will tell you high blood pressure is a result of a diet high in salt. The belief that salt consumption raises blood pressure is based on bogus science. It originates from French scientists more than 100 years ago, who 'based their findings on just six patients'.

Salt, emphasizing its role in maintaining proper hydration, supporting adrenal function, and enhancing nutrient absorption. Salt helps the body balance fluids, regulate nerve and muscle function, and maintain acid-base balance. For people who are active or on low-carb or ketogenic diets, salt intake is even more essential, as they can lose more sodium through sweat and reduced insulin levels. DiNicolantonio explains that salt can also improve blood flow, support cardiovascular health, and reduce cravings for sugar by balancing electrolyte levels.
