All about sodium!
^we get 90% of our sodium from table salt (sodium chloride).
^The most amount of table salt we should consume is 3800mg/day, which is 3.8 grams!
^beware of "hidden" salt in food. Processed foods such as ham, cheese, bacon and even corn flakes, cookies and muesli, tinned foods and smoked foods use salt as a preservative, thus they contain alot of salt.
^Sodium deficiency could result in low blood pressure, tiredness, diarrhoea, kidney failure and heart diseases.
^consuming too much sodium could result in osteoporosis (sodium increase the excretion of calcium!), high blood pressure, oedema, heart and kiney disease.
