Answer:

Sodium

Step-by-step explanation:

Excess sodium increases blood pressure because it holds excess fluid in the body, and that creates an added burden on the heart. Too much sodium will increase your risk of stroke, heart failure, osteoporosis, stomach cancer and kidney disease. ... Even foods such as breads and cereals can have high amounts of salt.
