 High salt diet increases risk of development of hypertension. In hypertensive patients, low salt diet decreases blood pressure. Not surprisingly public health authorities endorse low salt diet in hypertensive patients. But, surprisingly, average salt intake among adults in Canada remains stubbornly high. Low effectiveness of fast counselling by physicians and nurses on dietary salt is partly the culprit. Methods used in successful clinical trials eg. provision of meals, community cooking sessions, many hours of counselling by dieticians cannot be used in routine clinical practice. Hence the investigators propose a study on a pragmatic dietary counselling method suitable for clinical practice.
