I've heard that if I eat too much salt, it can lead to high blood pressure. Is this true?

Yes, eating too much salt can lead to high blood pressure. High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Eating too much sodium increases your chances of having high blood pressure. Sodium is found in many foods, such as processed meats, cheese, canned soups, and sauces. So, yes, you should limit the amount of sodium you eat.
