                                Studies show a significant positive association between high daily salt intake and elevated B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels, even in individuals without existing heart or blood pressure problems. This finding highlights a crucial question: can salt increase BNP, and what does this mean for your overall cardiovascular health?
