What dietary restriction is recommended for non-drug PAH treatment?

  1. < 2.4 grams/day of sodium

  2. < 1.5 grams/day of sugar

  3. < 50 grams/day of protein

  4. < 2 liters/day of water

The correct answer is: < 2.4 grams/day of sodium

A low sodium diet is recommended for non-drug treatment of PAH because high levels of sodium can worsen symptoms and contribute to fluid retention. Options B, C, and D are not specific to PAH treatment and may not have a significant impact on managing the condition. Restricting sugar and protein intake, as well as limiting water intake, are not typically recommended for non-drug PAH treatment. However, it is always important to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized dietary recommendations.
