Although the cause of hypertension has not been proven, salt intake is the factor named most often as the culprit. Hypertension is a risk factor for heart attacks, strokes, heart failure, aneurisms and renal failure (kidneys). Also, an interesting way to look at it is that people with high salt diets tend to also suffer from obesity, which also increases the risk for hypertension (and associated heart problems)....so its a cycle of unhealthy eating.
