Question

Why a person suffering from a high blood pressure is advised to take minimum quantity of salt

Answer 1

Solution :

Our body fluid contains a number of Solutes .
On taking large amount of common salt , Na+ and Cl−ions enter into the body filled thereby raising the concentration of the solutes .
As a result osmotic pressure increases which may rupture the blood cells
