Background
\n\u2022\u2060 \u2060High sodium \u2191 BP & CVD
\n\u2022\u2060 \u2060Low potassium intake also contributes to hypertension<\/p>\n
What is potassium-enriched salt?<\/p>\n
\u2022\u2060 \u2060Replace part of NaCl with KCl
\n\u2022\u2060 \u2060Same taste \u2192 easy 1:1 switch<\/p>\n
Benefits
\n\u2022\u2060 \u2060\u2193 BP (\u2193 sodium + \u2191 potassium)
\n\u2022\u2060 \u2060\u2193 stroke & CV events (NEJM)<\/p>\n
Guidelines
\n\u2022\u2060 \u2060Recommended in:
\n* ESC 2024
\n* AHA\/ACC 2025
\n* WHO 2025<\/p>\n

Now guideline-supported (WHO + ESC + AHA\/ACC)
\nJACC 2026 confirms effectiveness
\nNot just lifestyle advice \u2192 evidence-based intervention
