Not everyone gets high blood pressure from taking in too much salt. The people who are most likely to get high blood pressure from taking in too much salt are those whose cells do not respond well to insulin (Hypertension, Jan 2013). People whose cells do not respond well to insulin are called “insulin resistant”. On the other hand, those whose cells respond well to insulin are called “insulin sensitive”. They can develop high blood pressure from not taking in enough salt.SALT RESTRICTION ISN’T FOR EVERYONE.
