Official title
High Sodium Intake, Gut Microbiome and Blood Pressure Control
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
High sodium intake is a significant risk factor for hypertension. Recently, animal studies connect high sodium intake to the gut-immune axis and highlight the gut microbiome as a potential therapeutic target to counteract salt-sensitive conditions and hypertension. The objective of this project is to determine the effects of high salt intake on gut microbiota composition and gut intestine barrier integrity, leading to increased BP in humans. The investigators also hypothesize that high salt intake affects the gut microbiome in a sex-specific manner. In this pilot study, The investigators also test whether telehealth or in-person nutritional coaching help to decrease dietary sodium intake and improve diet quality
