Drinking a special kind of mineral water with lots of sodium and bicarbonate for a month doesn’t raise your blood pressure, even though you’re taking in more salt than usual.

Drinking this mineral water makes you pee out more salt and less calcium — which might help protect your bones and kidneys.

Drinking this special mineral water makes your body produce less of a hormone called aldosterone, which helps control blood pressure — and this effect is stronger than with regular mineral water.

Even though people urinate out more salt after drinking this mineral water, their blood pressure doesn’t go up — meaning the body’s salt removal system works fine without raising BP.

Eating a lot of salt for 10 days might make your blood pressure bounce around a bit more, but the change wasn’t big enough to say for sure it’s real — it’s just a hint, not proof.

Even if you eat a ton of salt for 10 days, your blood pressure won’t go up if you’re a healthy young adult—your body just pees out the extra salt and your blood stays normal.
