I’m going to explain the interaction between blood pressure, body fat, and sodium by explaining the all important RAAS (renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system). Understanding this system can help you optimize blood pressure, heart, and overall vascular health. We’ll discuss the following:
Understanding how RAAS works
How body fat interacts with RAAS
Why sodium is not the root cause of high blood pressure
The connection between insulin resistance and RAAS
Lifestyle measures to effectively reduce blood pressure
