Dietary sodium is a major determinant of urinary calcium loss (1) . High-sodium intake results in increased loss of calcium in the urine, possibly due to competition between sodium and calcium for reabsorption in the kidneys or by an effect of sodium on parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion.
Sodium can significantly affect how high your blood pressure is. Salt is the first element of your diet you will need to tackle to lower your blood pressure. Talk to your doctor about the amount of salt you should eat: the human body needs a small amount of salt; so eliminating it entirely can cause health problems.
