No single nutrient has conclusive and unique relationship with blood pressure (Bp) has been demonstrated, barring for well established association of obesity and hypertension as well as common salt (NaCl) with hypertension. The accepted criteria for hypertension is if systolic (syts) Bp is greater than 130 mmHg in people less than age 45 years and syts Bp more than 150 mmHg above 45 years of age. Hypercholestremia is also associated with hypertension and heart diseases. These both factors are associated with increased rate of myocardial infarction and sudden death.
