Lowering Your Sodium Intake
The C.D.C. says chances are, you’re probably eating way too much salt. A new centers for disease control and prevention study says most Americans get double the recommended daily intake of sodium.
The agency is now urging nearly seventy percent of Americans to take steps to cut that intake down. The C.D.C. says ideally, a person should consume no more than fifteen hundred milligrams a day. That’s a huge decrease from the current daily average for Americans over 23400 milligrams a day.
The C.D.C. says people with a high sodium diet run the risk of high blood pressure, a major cause of heart disease and stroke. The findings appear in the current issue of the C.D.C.’s “morbidity and mortality weekly report.”
