Excessive salt, sodium chloride intake is a medical no-no, the intake figures dropping all the time for blood pressure control, but is not, I think, 1-2 grams per day. A study, published in the journal Cell Reports, examined how blood flow to the hypothalamus changed in response to sodium chloride intake. There was found a decrease in blood flow as the neurons became activated in the hypothalamus. "If you chronically ingest a lot of salt, you'll have hyperactivation of vasopressin neurons. This mechanism can then induce excessive hypoxia, which could lead to tissue damage in the brain," said one of the researchers. "If we can better understand this process, we can devise novel targets to stop this hypoxia-dependent activation and perhaps improve the outcomes of people with salt-dependent high blood pressure." Ok, I got the message without the neurology, limit salt intake, as it is one big factor in hypertension.
