Annaliese Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 http://summaries.cochrane.org/CD004022/short-term-studies-show-that-in-people-with-elevated-blood-pressure-low-salt-diets-lead-to-useful-drops-in-blood-pressure-but-overall-harms-or-benefits-are-not-knownI was wondering what long term adaptations the body makes to a high salt diet. It seems renin and aldosterone are reduced, so overall is blood volume really increased? The blood pressure changes that are talked about in the article above dont seem that impressive to me....just wondering if anyone has investigated this further than me...

Annaliese Posted December 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 http://ep.physoc.org/content/66/2/117.full.pdfSo, there IS evidence that blood volume is increased. Does anybody know how much blood volume expansion we can realistically expect? Ive heard low aldosterone can cause hearing and vertigo probs. Has anyone developed vertigo after they started their high salt diet? Im asking these questions because my vertigo is doing my head in and im wondering if the high salt diet is really worth it.
