10 Foods High In Sodium
Food #7: Frozen Meals
The frozen foods section of your grocery store can be another hiding place for salt. Frozen meals like pizza or meatloaf dinners might contain up to 1,800 mg of sodium—enough to put you over the AHA’s daily limit in just one meal. These meals also tend to be high in fat and calories, which are also very harmful if consumed on a regular basis.
Excess salt causes your body to retain fluid, which will not only be leaving you feeling bloated, but can also lead to high blood pressure. Look for low-sodium options or, better yet, cook your own meals from scratch.
