New Delhi:<\/strong>\u00a0Heart diseases are one of the leading causes of death, all around the world. One heart condition is linked with almost all fatal heart diseases and disorders like attacks, stroke, failure, etc, and that is high blood pressure. High BP or hypertension can be caused due to a variety of reasons, some of which include a diet high in salt, high-cholesterol diet, and unhealthy lifestyle.\u00a0
Salt-sensitive hypertension is linked with a diet high in salt. According to a new report, immune cells in the kidneys shoot out free radicals, when one suffers from salt-sensitive hypertension. This can lead to an increase in blood pressure and may also damage the kidneys.<\/p>\n

These reactive chemicals, also called reactive oxygen species or ROS are a byproduct of our body’s use of oxygen that our immune system uses to eliminate or kill harmful foreign bodies. At high levels, they can lead to various diseases from hypertension to cancer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
