We found 60-70% of cases having the habit of high salt intake. Our data suggested a 2.5-fold higher risk for high blood pressure in sea or white salt users versus black salt or Himalayan rock salt which showed more potassium and magnesium with low sodium ions as compared to sea salt. Our data revealed more hypertension in high quantity with low frequency versus low quantity with quality of salt with high frequency users. Data suggests a significant difference of dyspnoea, cardiac functions and exercise intolerance in hypertensive rich salt users versus balanced salt intake less than 6 gm/day.
