Summary
This study tests whether taking a ketone supplement can prevent the negative effects of eating too much salt, like high blood pressure and kidney strain. Researchers will give 35 healthy young adults either a high-salt diet with a ketone supplement or a placebo, then measure changes in blood pressure, blood vessel function, and kidney health. The goal is to find a simple way to reduce the health risks of a high-salt diet without requiring people to change their eating habits.
