Dr. Martin gets asked all the time about the connection between salt and high blood pressure. That question bothers him because it was never true! Salt is actually good for you, and it’s really important for your health!

Join Dr. Martin as he talks about salt and explains why it doesn’t cause high blood pressure. Study after study has shown that eliminating sodium from your diet does very little to lower your blood pressure.
