The Danger of too much SODIUM, & 4 EASY ways to Fix it.
What is Sodium, and Why is it important?
Sodium is one of the human body’s electrolytes, and is key for several functions of your body. We know it in the form of table salt. It helps do the following:
Manage Blood Pressure
Regulate Blood Volume
Balance your body’s PH levels
Controls the electrical conductivity of your cells
Put simply, it does a lot. However, when there’s too much sodium in your blood, there can be some pretty adverse side effects that any human should look out for.
Worry Not! There are some extremely easy ways to keep your sodium levels in balance, incorporate these into your daily routine and you’ll be smooth sailing in no time!
Before we get started, REMEMBER: The recommended daily amount of sodium is 1000 - 2500 mg per day
Drink More Water: As easy as it gets! Proper hydration is key. In fact, the vast majority hypernatremia cases are mild and can be easily resolved by having a few glasses of water!
Consume more potassium: Potassium is another electrolyte that’s crucial to your body, and counteracts the effects of sodium by regulating blood pressure. Potassium can be found in several foods across the pyramid, from bananas and berries, even to eggs and meat!
Check your packaging: Nutrition labels on your food will tell you how much sodium (& other important nutrients) they consist of. Simply checking your packaging and doing the math can do wonders for your overall health.
Add LESS salt to your food: The majority of foods across the board already consist of some sodium, and what do we do? Lay on the Salt! Next time, consider turning it down or going for an alternative.
