You’ve heard it a million times, you shouldn’t eat salt because it will raise your blood pressure. Well, large scale scientific reviews have shown that there’s no reason for people with normal blood pressure to restrict their sodium (salt) usage.

It’s been known for 20 years now that people with high blood pressure who don’t want to lower their salt intake can simply more potassium-containing foods, since they keep each other balanced out. Dutch researchers determined that a low potassium intake has the same impact on your blood pressure as high salt consumption.

Good sources of potassium are fruits, vegetables, and legumes….such as bananas, white potatoes, spinach, and broccoli.
