Holy Crap!!! Just when I am feeling all healthy something else pops up that I seem to be doing wrong!!! I have been enjoying Campbell?s Chunky Classic Chicken Soup for lunch and fruit for snacks during the day. Many nights I have another bowl with a tossed salad for diner. I feel great and am losing weight on this diet and it seems INR friendly.
But noooooooooo, read below:
Most sodium comes from table salt and canned and pre-prepared foods. According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, adult Americans average 4?5 grams (4,000?5,000 mg) of sodium per day. However, you only need about one tenth of that (500 mg) to meet the needs of the body. Total daily sodium intake should not exceed 2400 mg. Here are the U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) for sodium for adults (both men and women), children, and infants:
? Adults: 500mg
? Children: 400 mg
? Infants: 120-200 mg
On a normal day I figure that I am consuming about 3800mg of sodium. Low sodium soups taste like you know what and I end up adding salt to them. I hardly ever use a salt shaker so just about all the sodium I get is coming from the food I eat (prepared or otherwise). I guess I could just eat grass clipping but there is probably something wrong there too.
Sometimes health consciousness sucks.
