      How does salt increase blood pressure?
      When you eat too much salt, which contains sodium, your body holds extra water to “wash” the salt from your body. In some people, this may cause blood pressure to rise. The added water puts stress on your heart and blood vessels.

        because it constricts the cells, which constricts the arterys, which exacerbates high blood pressure
