Does dietary salt reduction lower blood pressure in hypertensive patients?
The Japanese Society of Hypertension recommends dietary salt reduction to 6 g/day or less to manage hypertension, though achieving this target remains challenging in Japan.
Kawano et al. (2007) conducted a review in Hypertension. Dietary salt reduction was evaluated on Blood pressure reduction. Dietary salt reduction to 6 g/day or less is recommended for hypertensive patients, as systolic blood pressure decreases by about 1 mmHg with every 1 g/day decrease in salt intake.
