DAY 137 of 365.
REDUCE SODIUM IN YOUR FOOD.
Eating a lot of sodium can contribute to high blood pressure, a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Reducing sodium is an important part of a heart-healthy diet. The American Heart Association recommends that:
Healthy adults have no more than 2,300 milligrams (mg) of sodium a day (about a teaspoon of salt)
Most adults ideally have no more than 1,500 mg of sodium a day.
Although reducing the amount of salt you add to food at the table or while cooking is a good first step, much of the salt you eat comes from canned or processed foods, such as soups, baked goods and frozen dinners. Eating fresh foods and making your own soups and stews can reduce the amount of salt you eat.
Low salt items to choose;
Herbs and spices, salt free seasoning blends, reduced salts canned soup or prepared meals
High salt items to limit or avoid;
Table salt, tomato juice, restaurants meats. Avoid condiments such as mayonnais, soy sauce, ketchups and canned soups
