I would hazard that if people on a lower salt diet increased their potassium intake substantially they’d see positive outcomes. Based on CVD research it seems to go
high potassium, low sodium>high sodium, low potassium>low sodium, low potassium
That’s good to know (I would have predicted the opposite).
I seem to have relatively low blood pressure in general (it isn’t surprising for my pulse to sound like squirts rather than thumps...). This makes me think I should avoid things like alcohol, but I haven’t actually researched this.
Lowering salt too much (down to recommended levels) is risky
Some people have blood pressure which goes up on a low-salt diet
