Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To elucidate the actual effect of Himalayan salt on the blood pressure of essential hypertensive individuals when compared to common salt. Analysis of 24-hour urine excretion, in mml/L,and blood pressure measurement, in mmHg, will be performed to asses differences. The values of urinary sodium excretion after consumption of the salts probably will not be statistically significant due to the similarity in the sodium concentration between them. Calcium and urinary potassium excretion will probably not show any difference between groups and patients, since the difference in the amount of these ions in the Himalayan salt compared to the common salt is very small.;To assess the amount of sal consumption in each group (Himalyan salt and table salt). We will evaluate dividing the total sal consumed by the number of people and days. We expect to find no difference since both salts have similar taste. | — |
