Sodium is a mineral (that we consume as salt) that regulates blood pressure and blood volume. You may have already heard that if you need to get your blood pressure down, reducing the salt in your diet is the most effective strategy.
Research has shown that the effect of sodium intake on blood pressure is influenced by variations in the ACE gene. Those who have the GA or AA variant of the ACE gene are at a greater risk of experiencing elevated blood pressure when higher amounts of sodium are consumed than those possessing the GG variant of the gene.
