chronic high blood pressure from a western diet is what causes congestive heart failure in everybody...it's gonna get us all it's just a matter of time...but fast food will speed up the process...first the right side of the heart starts to fail, that's when you get pedal edema and the doctor places you on diuretics such as lasix...then the kidneys freak out and start retaining water(this is when salt intake becomes a nightmare) then the left heart will fail called cor pulmonale...like I said, this gets everyone if pneumonia or a stoke or cancer doesn't get you first....but I still avoid fast food and never salt my food...but I also see people stroking out daily from a life of high blood pressure so I'm biased...I definitely wouldn't tell people they can eat as much salt as they want tho, that's just digging a early grave...
so take your bp daily and clean up your diet until your bp is normal....I JUST SAVED YOU MORE TIME AND MONEY THEN YOU COULD EVER IMAGINE...no magic pill necessary
