Cardiovascular health is increasingly impacted by diet and lifestyle. A simple dietary shift involves replacing sodium chloride with potassium-rich salt alternatives.
Potassium salts (K-salts) help reduce sodium intake and increase potassium levels.
Foods like bananas, beans, spinach, and papayas are naturally rich in potassium.
Reducing salt gradually helps adjust the palate and prevent overconsumption.
Check labels of store-bought items for potassium-based, herbal, or salt-free seasonings.
Consulting a doctor is advised before switching to salt alternatives, especially for those with high blood pressure, to ensure proper bodily function.
