An American study calls for a reconsideration of strategies to prevent high blood pressure, emphasizing that relying solely on reducing sodium (salt) intake is no longer sufficient. It recommends that this should be complemented by increasing potassium intake to achieve better results in lowering blood pressure. The findings show that combining sodium reduction with increased potassium consumption has a greater impact on blood pressure improvement, as potassium enhances the body's ability to eliminate sodium through urine and improves blood vessel function. Studies indicate that sodium levels in most countries still exceed recommended limits, while potassium intake remains below optimal levels. Natural sources such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, and dairy products are encouraged to boost consumption. It is advised to focus on increasing potassium intake as part of the daily diet and to seek ways to improve food manufacturing processes. However, patients with conditions affecting potassium balance should consult healthcare professionals before increasing their intake to avoid potential health complications.
