Salt wars: Potassium-Rich diet may beat Low-Sodium for heart health
NCT ID NCT07221448
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether teaching young adults to eat more potassium is easier and better for their blood vessels than telling them to cut back on salt. Researchers will compare two groups: one gets advice on boosting potassium-rich foods, the other on reducing sodium. They'll track diet changes and heart health markers like blood pressure over six months.
