Sodium, Sodium in Food, Reduce Sodium in Body
We consume sodium every day but too much
sodium can have negative effects on our health. Especially sodium intake will increase
blood pressure for salt-sensitive people. The recommended daily allowance for
sodium is 2,300 mg. But if you're over 50 years old, your sodium intake
shouldn't go above 1,500 mg per day.
Sodium present naturally in many foods and
is added in the form of salt.
Many people think that salt and sodium are
same thing but salt is 40 percent sodium and 60 percent chloride. That`s why
sodium portion of salt is important to people who in high blood pressure.
Reduce
Salt and Sodium in Your Diet
1) Eat more fresh foods at home to keep
your balance
2) Add additional flavor such as garlic,
basil and pepper to your food. (no extra sodium)
3) Use fresh vegetable instead of canned
4) Read the nutrition facts label to
compare the amount of sodium
5) Rinse canned foods with water (beans,
tuna, and veggies)
Eating less sodium can help reducing risk
of heart disease and maintain a healthy weight.

This is a very informative post, I've never been much aware or conscious of my sodium intake and the effects it has on my health. I don't suffer from high blood pressure - rather that I'm prone to low blood pressure and easily feel light headed from indoor sports etc.
ReplyDeleteFresh foods are a must, it's usually what I love eating.
I'm not fond of garlic but like garlic bread funny enough, basil is a little strong for me but I love pepper and recently have been adding this to most my foods. I agree, the thing is fresh veggies have always been on my list but the only type of vanned veggies I buy are sweetcorn ^^
I better hold back on the salt, just love salt on my fries XD
Thanks for the post.
Love from your new follower, Emi
