What is the proper daily sodium intake???  USDA states we only should be taking in 1500 mg per day. Unfortunately, most of our the sodium is coming from the processed foods we eat. Only 11% comes from our actual salt shaker, most people are dining out too much. You must read labels.

High sodium leads to kidney problems, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, etc. If you eat those diet frozen dinners, most of them are too high in sodium.

I don’t think most people are aware of how much sodium they are getting naturally, for instance, chicken breasts & egg whites. It’s a good thing to get sodium from our food sources, but you must count these milligrams with the food you are over indulging in.

You won’t have abs until you cut down on your sodium!!! As we all know, sodium bloats us. This bloating process entraps the fat cells, & to put it into layman’s terms — if the fat cells get to hang out long enough (meaning if you don’t change your diet), then the fat stays & expands, multiplies. This is why sodium is so important. Everyone thinks it is because of the fat gram intake is why they don’t have abs — well, EVERYTHING,,,,, it all works hand in hand.
