Hi Paul,
I have had hypertension for thirty years.
There is certain percentage of the population with excess aldosterone from the adrenals that would be better following the doctors advice on low sodium.(salt)
Do you mind telling me what BP meds you are on, please?
If you eat carbs your insulin may be high and it will cause you to hold on to sodium, restrict the size of your arteries and put up your BPand this causes CVD.
Low carb reverses this, so much so some feel it necessary to eat sodium because BP goes down and they temporarily alter their fluid balance.
But if we feed properly the body balance our electrolytes itself.
But I am not in that fortunate position.
I have three large eggs fried lightly in loads of olive oil for breakfast with the oil soaked up with flaked almonds and my BG stays low even when I have few blue berries as well in coconut milk.
I stay filled most of day and and my weight is right down to target. BP fine Metabolic syndrome reversed.
best wishes
Derek
