Are you sure you're sodium sensitive?
Only one in 7 (about 14%) of people with hypertension are
effected by salt in the diet. The other 86% can continue to use
salt in moderation (less than 2000 mg daily).
There's no medical test for salt sensitivity, but one can easily
determine it - just avoid ALL sodium for about a week, taking
blood pressure daily, then gradually add moderate amounts of
sodium to the diet and each day measure blood pressure. If it
suddenly elevates within the first four days after adding salt-
you're one of those who have to strictly limit salt.
