Sodium Content
of Your Food
|
Do you
have high blood pressure? Or are you |
The sodium in your body, which comes mainly from salt, plays a vital role in regulating fluids and blood pressure. Studies show that for some people, a high sodium intake is associated with higher blood pressure.
There is no way to tell who might develop high blood pressure from eating too much salt. However, consuming less salt or sodium is not harmful and can be healthy for you.
High salt intake increases the amount of calcium excreted in the urine. When your body loses calcium, your risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures is higher. By eating less salt, you can help reduce the loss of calcium from your bones.
Only small amounts of salt occur naturally in foods. Most of the salt you eat comes from foods that have salt added during food processing or during preparation in a restaurant or at home. Some recipes include table salt or a salty broth or sauce, and some cooking styles call for adding a very salty seasoning such as soy sauce. Not all foods with added salt taste salty. Some people add salt or a salty seasoning to their food at the table. Your preference for salt may decrease if you gradually add smaller amounts of salt or salty seasonings to your food over a period of time.
Aim for a moderate sodium intake. The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends consuming less than 2,300 mg (approximately 1 teaspoon of salt) of sodium per day for healthy individuals. Other populations who are at risk for hypertension and who have hypertension should aim to consume no more than 1,500 mg of sodium per day. If you have any question about what your sodium intake should be, consult with your doctor or health care provider.

How Is Sodium Listed on the Label?
The amount of sodium in a serving of food is listed in milligrams (mg) and as a percent of the Daily Value on the nutrition label. The Percent Daily Value (% Daily Value) for sodium gives a general idea of how much sodium a serving adds to your total daily diet. The % Daily Value for sodium on the nutrition label shown here is based on a daily maximum of 2,400 milligrams.
*Percent Daily Values are based on a 2,000-calorie diet. Your daily values may be higher or lower depending on your calorie needs:
| Calories | 2,000 | 2,500 |
| Total Fat | Less than 65g | 80g |
| Saturated Fat | Less than 20g | 25g |
| Cholesterol | Less than 300mg | 300mg |
| Sodium | Less than 2,400mg | 2,400mg |
| Total Carbohydrate | 300g | 375g |
| Dietary Fiber | 25g | 30g |
The following spices and flavorings are low in sodium and can enhance the taste of foods:
