Answer the following question:
Why a person suffering from high blood pressure is advised to take minimum quantity of common salt?

✓

Answer

Osmotic pressure is directly proportional to the concentration of the solutes. Our body fluid contains a number of solutes. On taking large amount of common salt, $Na^+$ and $Cl^-$ ions enter into the body fluid thereby raising the concentration of the solutes. As a result, osmotic pressure increases which may rupture the blood cells.
