And how many mg of sodium per day is "required"?
ReplyDeleteAnd if you have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, shouldn't that per day amount be less?
The average individual should aim to consume less than 2300mg of sodium a day - if they have already been diagnosed with high blood pressure, they should try and limit their intake to 1500mg or less per day...
ReplyDelete...the funny thing about sodium is that the more you take in, the less sensitive (TASTE-wise) you are to it - and, alternately, the less you take in, the MORE sensitive you are to it. If you can get used to the initial "taste" of consuming less sodium in your diet, eventually you won't need as much to actually - ahem - TASTE it!
