 This is in response to a request I received for information on sodium. Basically, the new recommendations are for no more than 1500 mg per day. This new recommendation was made because studies have shown that decreasing your sodium intake can result in lower blood pressure, help control hypertension and can help to prevent cardiovascular disease. Now, is this easy? No way! Most processed foods and restaurant foods contain high amounts of sodium. |
