Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Cardio-ankle vascular index
Time Frame: This measurement will take approximately 1 minute and will be completed twice.
Cardio-ankle vascular index will be assessed using simultaneous arm and ankle blood pressures, EKG, and phonocardiography
Ambulatory blood pressure
Time Frame: This measurement will take approximately 24 hours and will be obtained from the date of enrollment until the date of completion of the study up to 10 days after enrollment.
24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring will be completed on day 3 of each dietary condition.
Secondary Outcomes
- Renal sodium excretion(This measurement will be obtained from the date of enrollment until the date of completion of the study up to 10 days after enrollment.)
