“salt”
Salt and sodium are villains when it comes to living with
high blood pressure and heart disease. The Dietary Guidelines suggests that people with hypertension or prehypertension limit their daily
sodium intake to just 1,500 milligrams. Currently, the average American eats
more than twice that amount, or about 3,400 milligrams a day.
More than 75 percent of the sodium you eat in a day comes
from the packaged foods you eat, not what you add at the table with a
saltshaker. Some of the saltiest sources of pre-packaged foods include deli
meat, frozen pizza, fruit and vegetable juices, canned soup, and canned or
bottled tomato products.
