I am used to the taste excess salt in every item I eat.
Every friend of mine and few others teel me I should not eat excessive salt.
Till today My health is fine except the high blood pressure problem.
Does this salt affect me to raised B.P.trouble anyway?

The sodium intake per day has to be 2000mg...when u grow older and consume a lot of salt ur heart will not be as effective as it was when u were younger and hence fluid collects around heart and lungs...limiting salt intake could lower ur bp and the fluid..

Yes of-course, salt is the reason for your High Blood pressure, you are lucky that nothing happenend to you till today,just stop it immediately. Salt also increases your weight. some people just don't want to listen to friends and well-wisher. Are you aware what can HBP do, just go to some sites and read and take care.

True!
I visited few sites.
Every where result of HBP is explained as
"A hart attack on tomorrow" if not attended seriously.
But is it the salt, only or one of the major cause of HBP?
It's difficult for me to decrease my salt level in my food
from taste point of view.
but.......
The punishment is too much for a little quantity of salt.
The body is making a injustice to my feelings.

U surely it will if u r having salt in EXCESSIVE quantity. ...Please read the harmful Effects --
*Rise in the blood pressure
*Forces the kidneys to work harder to filter a larger quantity of blood.(As the percentage of sodium chloride in the blood always remains constant, the body must find other ways of re-establishing the salt/water balance. The first way is through dilution, by increased intake of non-saline fluids).
*When dilution is no longer sufficient, the salt is stored. It goes into bones, tendons, ligaments and connective tissues al! throughout the body, which rapidly become clogged with salt.
So, keep control over salt...in diet & body.
