Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Blood Pressure VariabilityExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Twenty four hour blood pressure variability will be assessed. This will be performed while subjects are on a low sodium diet (1000 mg/daily), medium sodium diet (2300 mg/daily), and high sodium diet (7000 mg/daily).
Group II: Blood Pressure ReactivityExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Blood Pressure Responses to a cold pressor test and acute exercise will be assessed. This will be performed while subjects are on a low sodium diet (1000 mg/daily), medium sodium diet (2300 mg/daily), and high sodium diet (7000 mg/daily).
