10 Foods High In Sodium
A diet high in sodium can be very detrimental to anyone. Diets high in sodium have been linked to diabetes, heart disease, and decreased life span.
Currently, the recommended daily amount of sodium is 2,300 mg per day for the average consumer. Unfortunately, a new study found most adults consume 3,400 mg of sodium. This is much more than the recommended amount.
Many individuals do not believe they consume much sodium because their foods may not taste salty. However, sodium is found in many foods that do not even taste salty. For instance, baked goods, meats, and grains have a good amount of sodium despite not tasting salty. Restaurant food, frozen food, and grains are some of the highest contributors to sodium in the average American diet.
