Is Salt the Real Villain in High BP? Truth About Sodium & Indian Diet | Dr. Ameya HG Cardiowise

#salt 🧂 “Doctor, I’ve been eating pickles and papad all my life—why the fuss about salt now?” 🎯 Great question—and one that could save your heart. In this eye-opening episode of HG Cardiowise, cardiologist Dr. Ameya Amonkar busts one of the biggest myths in hypertension: 👉 Is salt really the root cause of high BP in Indians? Or has sodium been unfairly framed, like Gabbar Singh—misunderstood and misquoted? ⸻ 🧠 What You’ll Learn in This Video: ✔ The science behind sodium and blood pressure ✔ How excess salt increases BP (and it’s not what you think) ✔ Why Indians are more salt-sensitive than Western populations ✔ The shocking salt content in your everyday foods—from sabudana khichdi to namkeen ✔ How much salt is safe — and what 1 tsp of salt actually means ✔ Whether salt substitutes and pink salt are truly better ✔ Are YOU salt-sensitive? Take our 5-point self-check quiz ⸻ 📊 Backed by Science & Indian Data: 📌 INTERSALT Study | 📌 DASH-Sodium Trial 📌 ICMR-INDIAB | 📌 Harvard & WHO Guidelines 📌 Real Indian meal examples and label decoding 📌 How genetics, diabetes, and kidney issues make you more salt-sensitive ⸻ ⚠ Why It Matters: Most Indians consume 9–11 grams of salt per day — nearly double the WHO recommended limit of 5g. Add to that our higher salt sensitivity, and you’ve got a recipe for early-onset BP, strokes, heart attacks, kidney disease… even bone loss and stomach cancer. 💡 Salt isn’t the ONLY villain — but it’s the EASIEST one to control today. No cost. No meds. No side effects. Just smarter swaps. ⸻ 🧂 Coming up next: “How to Cut Salt Without Killing Taste” — real-life Indian solutions to make food flavorful AND heart-healthy. 📣 Subscribe and hit the 🔔 bell icon so you don’t miss it. 👨‍⚕ Follow: @DrAmonkar_HGCardiowise 🌐 Visit our clinic: www.hgsuperspecialityclinic.com 📲 Instagram: @hgsuperspecialityclinic #saltandbp #IndianDiet #highbpmyths #saltsensitivity #hypertensionIndia #hgcardiowise #drameyaamonkar #hearthealthtips #sodiumfacts #dashdiet #saltsubstitutes #desihealth #desihealthtips #saltbenefits #bloodpressure #bloodpressurefacts
