Why is it important for individuals with hypertension to moderate their salt intake?

To increase energy levels
To maintain healthy blood pressure
To enhance muscle recovery
To prevent dehydration

The correct answer is: To maintain healthy blood pressure

Moderating salt intake is particularly important for individuals with hypertension because excessive sodium can lead to increased blood pressure. Sodium causes the body to retain water, which can raise blood volume and subsequently put additional pressure on the blood vessels. Maintaining a healthy blood pressure is crucial in reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular issues. Therefore, a lower salt intake helps manage hypertension effectively and supports overall cardiovascular health. The other options may relate to general health or performance but do not directly address the specific impact of salt intake on blood pressure regulation, which is critical for those with hypertension.
