Teens who cut salt intake may reap benefits later

That's based on results of a computer modeling analysis presented at the American Heart Association meeting in Chicago this week.

Hypertension is a common condition that may have no symptoms for years but can eventually cause serious health conditions including heart attack and stroke.

Teens are said to consume more than 3,800 milligrams. That's more than any other group.

Experts say processed foods and pizza are believe to be the biggest contributor of salt to a teens diet.
