Study finds potassium-enriched salt could reduce high blood pressure and related risks in Australia, where one-third of adults have hypertension.

A recent study suggests that potassium-enriched salt could help reduce high blood pressure and its associated risks in Australia, where one in three adults has hypertension. The salt, which replaces some sodium chloride with potassium chloride, could maintain a similar taste to regular salt and has been proven to lower blood pressure and reduce health risks in trials. The study calls for clearer guidelines to recommend the switch to potassium-enriched salt for those with high blood pressure, despite its higher cost compared to regular salt.
