Cutting down salt to lower blood pressure is a positive move in your effort to lower your blood pressure. However, you may also choose to follow a low-sodium diet that would help in your resolve.
Hence, a diet called Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) has been designed to reduce blood pressure and LDL (Low-density lipoprotein).
This diet is simple and does not restrict itself to calorie-counting and is not a weight-loss diet plan.
