Too little salt also to patients with high blood pressure

China's traditional Chinese medicine to

        Many of you know, less salt intake can help reduce the risk of heart disease and high blood pressure. Diet contains too much sodium salt, was susceptible to high blood pressure. Not only sodium content is high and low will affect the condition of high blood pressure change, a new study has found that when patients with high blood pressure low chlorine concentration in the body, death rates will rise.

        Researchers at the university of Glasgow for nearly 13000 hypertension patients condition change after 35 years of trace analysis found that patients with high blood pressure in the body of chlorine concentration is low, the risk of cardiovascular disease and death will become higher. Compared with other patients, chloride concentration in the body the lowest hypertension increased mortality of about 20%.

        Researchers pointed out that sodium important killer role in the risk of high blood pressure, sodium intake increases, high blood pressure risk will increase, and the role of the chlorine is often ignored. But the study showed that low chlorine concentration in the blood, patients with high blood pressure will increase mortality. Sodium chloride and perhaps is inversely proportional, high concentrations of sodium, chloride concentration will be low.

        Published recently in the journal hypertension, the study said, the chloride ions in the blood detection has gradually become a part of the routine blood test, therefore, in the future in health risk assessment of the patients with high blood pressure was expected to join this metric.

        The findings, the researchers say, is not to overthrow the conclusion of "excessive salt harmful to health", the exact role of chlorine on cardiovascular health still needs more study. (Cao Shufen)
