Answers (1)

A person with high blood pressure is often advised to take a minimum quantity of common salt.

This is because salt contains sodium, which causes the body to retain water.

This increases blood volume and pressure on blood vessels, which makes the heart work harder and results in raised blood pressure.

This increases the risk of heart problems.
