High blood pressure is reduced by adding a new salt substitute to a range of foods. This demonstrates population strategy and an approach aimed at improving the average.

Explanation:

Population strategy is a public health-oriented approach to prevent burdening of people from disease at high risk. Population-based approach generally focuses on cities, communities, states and sometimes the whole nations, instead of concentrating individually.

High blood pressure means high blood force against the artery walls. Sometimes new salt substitutes are added to foods to reduce high blood pressure. Blood pressure should be maintained properly because high pressure may cause serious damage to body's main artery.
