When you eat salt may matter more than how much you eat.

This video breaks down new research on salt timing, circadian rhythm, and blood pressure.

Most people are told to cut salt to control high blood pressure. But new research suggests something more nuanced: your body handles sodium differently depending on the time of day.

In this video, we cover:
* Why nighttime salt intake disrupts blood pressure rhythms
* How your colon controls sodium absorption
* The role of circadian biology in blood pressure regulation
* Why “non-dipping” blood pressure is a problem

This is based on a mechanistic study in mice, but the biology gives us useful insights into how timing may affect human physiology.

👉 Key takeaway: shift your sodium intake earlier in the day and avoid late-night salty snacks.
