During the 7 days of the respondents arranged their diet with 3,000 mg of salt per day, then the next 7 days levels increased to 18,000 mg sodium. The researchers measured their blood pressure nine times during the period of this study to determine the level of their sensitivity to salt.

The people who never exercise to increase blood pressure Hg 5.27 ml. However, people who diligently exercising tensinya rose about 3.88 mm Hg.

A person is suffering from hypertension if their blood pressure over 120 mm Hg/80 mm Hg, according to AHA standards.
