Conventional wisdom assumes that diets high in salt cause High blood pressure, stroke and they are generally unhealthy for you.  This was my assumption most of my fitness life.  My mother always told me high blood pressure ran in my family, she never brought up the fact that most of my family was overweight and out of shape and maybe salt wasn’t the major contributing factor.  It is my new found understanding that it is not salt that causes high blood pressure in overweight and out of shape people but rather a person being overweight and out of shape.  More than salt, high blood pressure can be attributed to too little magnesium, potassium, and calcium.
