RE: Pharmacology #2 : Salt + Water = Hypertension

in #steemstem7 years ago

when my client asked me why his blood pressure is increased and why I advised him to reduce eating salt, I always show him how a glass of water becomes thick after adding the salt

Yeap. That’s an excellent way of showing the analogy of how excessive salt intake causes hypertension. People add salt to fish so the fish will dry faster. This shows how effective is salt in absorbing water. If we take excessive salt, we’ll retain more water and this might lead to hypertension :)
