Salt intake and Hypertension by Mazlin Abdul Rani https://padlet.com/mazlinabdulrani/rtvicqh5r7u75r6w How does a high intake of salt cause hypertension? en-us 2021-10-14 13:29:27 UTC 2025-09-30 12:24:35 UTC hello@padlet.com Muhammad https://padlet.com/mazlinabdulrani/rtvicqh5r7u75r6w/wish/1818567314 Salt intake means your body will intake sodium. When there is sodium in your system, your body will naturally hold more water to wash out the sodium from your system. The water held in your body will affect the blood pressure as it places stress on your heart and the blood vessels.]]> 2021-10-15 01:50:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mazlinabdulrani/rtvicqh5r7u75r6w/wish/1818567314 Roy https://padlet.com/mazlinabdulrani/rtvicqh5r7u75r6w/wish/1818570812 Salt increases blood pressure when too much salt is consumed. Due to it containing sodium, your body holds extra water to "wash" the salt from your body. In some people, this may cause blood pressure to rise. The added water puts stress on your heart and blood vessels. Salt can also increase the chances of multiple organ issues such as heart failure and heart attack, kidney problems, fluid retention, stroke and osteoporosis. ]]> 2021-10-15 01:52:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mazlinabdulrani/rtvicqh5r7u75r6w/wish/1818570812 elijah https://padlet.com/mazlinabdulrani/rtvicqh5r7u75r6w/wish/1818571130 when intake too much salt, which contains sodium, your body holds extra water to "wash" the salt from the body. This may cause pressure to rise. The added water puts stress on heart and blood vessels, Overtime, excessive salt intake stiffens and narrows the blood vessels.

This leads our body to hold onto more water and increases both the fluid surrounding our cells and the volume of blood in our bloodstream. As blood volume increases, the pressure on our blood vessels begins to increase and our heart needs to work harder to move blood around our body. ]]> 2021-10-15 01:53:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mazlinabdulrani/rtvicqh5r7u75r6w/wish/1818573784 dy https://padlet.com/mazlinabdulrani/rtvicqh5r7u75r6w/wish/1818574179 Too much salt in the diet can upset the equilibrium of sodium in our body, causing sodium levels in the blood to rise. This causes our bodies to retain more water, increasing the fluid surrounding our cells as well as the volume of blood in our bloodstream. As the volume of blood in our bodies grows, the pressure in our blood vessels rises, forcing our hearts to work harder to circulate blood around our bodies. This added stress can cause blood vessels to stiffen over time, increasing the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke.]]> 2021-10-15 01:53:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mazlinabdulrani/rtvicqh5r7u75r6w/wish/1818574179 Joseph https://padlet.com/mazlinabdulrani/rtvicqh5r7u75r6w/wish/1818575173
  • Over a period of time, excessive salt intake can lead to high blood pressure (hypertension), which stiffens and narrows the blood vessels. Blood and oxygen flow to key organs decreases. So the heart tries harder to pump blood throughout the body, which further increases blood pressure. Elevated blood pressure, particularly over a long period of time, puts an incredible strain on the heart.
  • Unchecked hypertension can also damage the artery walls, which begin to collect fat, leading to heart disease and potentially heart attack or stroke.

This causes fluid retention which increases the pressure exerted by the blood against blood vessel walls (high blood pressure). This increase in fluid allows our body to continue retaining sodium and fluid while removing higher levels of sodium in the urine. This will cause high blood pressure, meaning that This will have a higher risk of these dangerous causes like strokes, vascular dementia, diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease and mobility problems. People who already have these conditions are strongly encouraged to find a reduced salt diet or go see a doctor professional to seek advice on how this low sodium diet will help in their eating habit plan.]]> 2021-10-15 01:54:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mazlinabdulrani/rtvicqh5r7u75r6w/wish/1818575254 Nabilah https://padlet.com/mazlinabdulrani/rtvicqh5r7u75r6w/wish/1818575423 Excessive salt intake can cause high blood pressure, which stiffens and narrows the blood vessels over time.

Consuming too much salt makes it harder for your kidneys to remove fluids which will then build up in your system and increases blood pressure. Overtime, this leads to hypertension as the vessels are narrowed down. Blood and oxygen flow to organs and muscles decreases so the heart tries harder to pump blood causing diseases such as hypertension
