Cutting salt reduces headaches: Johns Hopkins study
December 13, 2014 20:36
Cutting down on salt could cut headaches by a third, new research shows.
People who reduced their salt intake to three grams a day — about a half-teaspoon — suffered significantly fewer headaches, NewsMax Health reports.
Cutting salt could reduce headaches because it lowers blood and pulse pressure, experts said. But even people with normal blood pressure saw a reduction in headaches when they reduced their salt intake.
The study involved nearly 400 people were randomly assigned either a low-fat diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products or a typical Western diet as a control.
The results showed halving salt intake from nine grams a day to three grams a day reduced headaches by 31 percent.
