Hidden risks in the “normal” blood test: Sodium levels and heart disease
Even within the traditional “normal” range (135–146 mmol/L), sodium levels ?140 mmol/L raise hypertension risk by 29% and heart failure risk by 20%, affecting 58% of study participants. Drinking 1 liter of water daily reduces sodium levels ~3 mmol/L—far more effectively than cutting salt (doubling salt intake only raises sodium by ~0.4 mmol/L). Fewer than […]
