There’s a lot of hype in regards to salt (ref: New York) being the cause of high blood pressure.  This is certainly true with people who are salt sensitive, however this can be remedied by simply increasing the amount of potassium you take in daily. You see, its really the balance of sodium(salt) and potassium that matters so if the ratio of one is way higher than the other you are going to get high blood pressure regardless.  For instance if you consume more potassium than sodium you will have high blood pressure.  Since you usually find more sodium in a lot of food more times than you do potassium,  people generally assume what New York is assuming right now.  Thus If you are the type that like a lot of salt with their food, make sure you are consuming foods with ample amounts of potassium such as
