A total of 173 patients (105 males, mean age 72.5±7) recently hospitalized for worsening advanced HF and discharged in normal ...

High Blood Pressure and Sodium Consumption, Extensive use of sodium can elevate the blood pressure which causes extreme headaches and bloating. Salt is a perfect example when it comes to the high amounts of sodium.

This week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a report about the top contributing foods to Americans sodium consumption. Leading the list of the top 10 foods was a surprising finding. Breads and rolls beat out chips and canned food for contributing the most salt in the daily diet. But digging deeper, we see that there is a bigger issue at hand - what we truly eat, and what we perceive that we eat.. According to data reported in the What We Eat in America portion of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 10 foods account for nearly half of the nations excessive sodium intake. These include breads and rolls, cold cuts/cured meats, pizza, poultry, soups, sandwiches, cheese, pasta dishes, meat dishes, and snack foods. For most of these categories, more than 70% of sodium consumed came from foods obtained at a store - supermarkets and convenience stores versus food served at a restaurant.. As dietitians counsel patients about the dangers of consuming too much ...

Cardiovascular disease is the single most common cause of death in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Most HD patients have left ventricular hypertrophy(LVH), a significant predictor of death in this population. LVH is related to extracellular volume expansion and hypertension, both of which are amenable to dietary sodium restriction. However, dietary change is widely known to be difficult to achieve and sustain. Controlling dietary sodium is particularly difficult for HD because many foods are naturally high in sodium, and most prepared/prepackaged foods have significant amounts of sodium added to enhance taste and shelf-life. Research on behavioral methods that are effective in reducing dietary sodium intake in HD is very limited. The purpose of this study is to test, in a randomized clinical trial of 200 HD patients, a behavioral intervention, paired with personal digital assistant (PDA)-based dietary self-monitoring, to enhance adherence to dietary sodium restrictions. Specifically the ...

This investigation examined the influence of two levels of dietary sodium (Na+) intake on intramuscular and extracellular potassium (K+) content. Nine unacclimatized college males exercised. (90 minutes of treadmill walking, 5.6km/hr, 6X grade) in an environmental chamber maintained at 40.1( + .05)°C and 23.5( + . 4) %RH, during two 8-day dietary-acclimation regimens. The first regimen employed a high Na+ diet (399mEq/day), the second a low Na+ diet (98mEq/day); both diets contained 80mEq K+/day. Total body K+ stores increased during the high Na+ diet (+138mEq, 4.1%) and the-low Na+ diet (+114mEq, 3.4%). By day 8 (D8) of both treatments, subjects exhibited a significantly lower (p,.O5) mean heart rate and rectal temperature. Oxygen consumption and sweat rate were unaltered but sweat responsiveness (ml/hr/°c) progressively increased during the acclimation trials. Plasma volume increased +16.3% (D4) and +10.7% (D8) under the high Na+ diet and only +3.0% (D4) and +7.0% (D8) under the low Na+ ...

Sustained high blood pressure (BP) or hypertension has been identified as the largest single attributable risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular death. The stark racial disparity in hypertension prevalence between black and white Americans has been documented for nearly a century and is associated with a greater burden from target end-organ damage for blacks. Chronic stress, high-sodium intake and hyperglycemia are key factors that are thought to contribute to racial disparities in hypertension. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether synergistic relations of dietary sodium intake and hyperglycemia are associated with resting and reactive BP and whether these associations differ between black and white adults. The participants were 732 (61% black; 52% below poverty status) Baltimore residents who participated in the Health Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity Across the Life Span (HANDLS) study. It was hypothesized that hyperglycemia would moderate the influence of ...

Lets continue our sodium exploration, shall we?. The post, Sodium Savvy, offered a great introduction to salt and sodium, exploring the composition of salt, sodium consumption guidelines, and current sodium consumption patterns. The bottom line is that many Americans eat far too much sodium each day.. So why is that important?. Frankly, too much sodium is terrible for your health.. To exp.... ...

Long term clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of sodium reduction on clinical events have not been conducted because of logistic and feasibility considerations. There is, however, some evidence that sodium reduction has long term beneficial effects on blood pressure, even in the absence of continued intervention. In a 15 year follow-up study of infants who were given low sodium formula during their first six months, blood pressure was lower in the intervention than control group in adolescence, despite no differences in urinary sodium excretion at follow-up.34 Similarly, in a seven year follow-up study of participants from the Baltimore TOHP I site,35 a trend for lower blood pressure and reduced hypertension incidence was found in the sodium intervention compared with control group, despite no differences in urinary sodium excretion at follow-up. Possible explanations for these results include a programming effect in infants, a resetting of blood pressure regulation in adults exposed to ...

Canadians consume a large amount of sodium. Although some sodium is needed to control blood volume and to help cells function properly, most Canadians consume far more than is necessary, or recommended. Results from the 2004 Canadian Community Health Survey - Nutrition indicate that, among people aged 19 to 70, over 85% of men and 60% of women had sodium intakes exceeding the recommended upper limit beyond which health risks increase.

1. The effects of chronic alterations in dietary sodium intake on urinary prostaglandin (PG) E2 and thromboxane (TX) B2 was investigated in the rabbit.. 2. Sodium restriction, over a 15-day period, reduced daily urinary PGE2 and TXB2 in concordance with urinary flow (V) and sodium excretion (UNa+V), but increased plasma renin activity (PRA) and plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC).. 3. Sodium repletion, on the other hand, increased urinary PGE2 and TXB2 in proportion to the rise in V, but reduced PRA and PAC.. 4. During both sodium diets PGE2 and TXB2 correlated positively with V and negatively with PRA.. 5. It is concluded that chronic sodium intake produces opposite changes in the renal prostaglandin and the renin-angiotensin systems. ...

Sodium reduction in processed foods is a high priority in the food industry due to the health implications of excessive dietary sodium consumption. Foods with a lipid/protein-based (lipoproteic) emulsion structure (such as processed cheeses and meats) are of particular interest because of their contribution to dietary sodium and the role of sodium in desired sensory and textural properties. When reducing sodium content in these food systems, it is crucial to understand the physicochemical and matrix properties contributing to sodium availability and saltiness perception. The overall objective of this study was to characterize chemical and rheological influences on sodium availability in a model lipoproteic emulsion gel. There were three specific aims to accomplish the overall objective. The first aim was to characterize the effects of formulation and processing parameters on sodium ion molecular mobility and binding in the model gel system. The second aim was to characterize how altering ...

CDC funded eight communities in 2016 to continue to improve nutrition and increase access to lower sodium options.. Although findings from the 2010-2013 and 2013-2016 awardees of the program show that sodium reduction is possible and acceptable to consumers, more work is needed to determine if these interventions result in sustainable, population-wide reductions in sodium consumption; how these strategies influence the supply and help to identify lower sodium products; and if effective strategies can be scaled to increase impact.. CDC will measure specific outcomes to determine whether these strategies meet programmatic goals in the priority venues. CDC will base the assessment on both local and cross-site evaluations.. ...

U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Helping Consumers Reduce Sodium Intake On this page:. Seeking a Gradual Reduction Whats a Consumer to Do? Most Americans consume way too much sodium, with salt (sodium chloride) being the most common form. That can be a serious health hazard, because excess sodium consumption contributes to the development and escalation of high blood pressure, a leading cause of heart disease, kidney disease, and stroke.. Research shows that Americans consume on average about 3,300 milligrams (mg) of sodium every day. The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends a reduction of sodium intake to less than 2,300 mg daily.. And those age 51 and older, and people of any age who are African-American or have high blood pressure, diabetes or chronic kidney disease should further reduce sodium intake to 1,500 mg daily. This amount meets your essential need for sodium. These populations comprise about half the U.S. population.. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ...

Background Current measurements of dietary and urinary sodium are fraught with methodological difficulties. Dietary methods tend to underestimate sodium consumption due to under-reporting of discretionary sources of salt (added at the table, or during cooking). The 24-hour urine collection method which is considered the gold standard is burdensome and potentially limited by under-collection. Several methods have been used to predict 24-hour sodium excretion from spot urine samples, including arithmetic extrapolation and the application of predictive formulae based on spot sodium to creatinine ratios as a means of controlling for urinary concentration, including those of Tanaka and Kawasaki. However the use of these methods in analytical epidemiological research is controversial. The aim of this study was to validate diet and urinary excretion derived estimates of sodium intake against those derived from 24-hour urine collections in an Irish manufacturing workplace sample. ...

So a low-sodium diet is recommended for the stone prone. Current guidelines suggest limiting total daily sodium intake to 2,300 mg. If sodium has contributed to kidney stones in the past, try to reduce your daily intake to 1,500 mg. This will also be good for your blood pressure and heart. Limit animal protein: Eating too much animal protein, such as red meat, poultry, eggs, and seafood, boosts the level of uric acid and could lead to kidney stones. A high-protein diet also reduces levels of citrate, the chemical in urine that helps prevent stones from forming. If youre prone to stones, limit your daily meat intake to a quantity that is no bigger than a pack of playing cards. This is also a heart-healthy portion.. ...

In a report that undercuts years of public health warnings, a prestigious group says there is no good reason based on health outcomes for many Americans to drive their sodium consumption down to the very low levels recommended in national dietary guidelines. Those levels, 1,500 milligrams of sodium a day, or a little more than half a teaspoon of salt, were supposed to prevent heart attacks and strokes in people at risk, including anyone older than 50, blacks, and people with high blood pressure, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease - a group that makes up more than half of the U.S. population. Some influential organizations, including the American Heart Association, have said everyone, not just those at risk, should aim for that very low sodium level.

The FDA is Doing it Again! As if they had nothing better to do, now it is dietary sodium decrease... again! After hundreds of academic articles show that the more dietary salt we consume, the healthier we are, they want to reduce it. Salt does not increase blood pressure but sugar does. Why are they…

If youre one of the 65 million Americans with high blood pressure (hypertension), youre no doubt familiar with the advice to cut back on salt (40% of which is sodium). But, as you may know, thats no easy task, especially if the goal is to limit your daily sodium intake to 1,500 milligrams the recommendation for people with high blood pressure. But what you may not know is that research shows other changes also benefit blood pressure. So which matters more in the treatment of hypertension limiting sodium or incorporating other diet and lifestyle changes? EN investigates.

Its not just Americans who are oversalted. A new study reports that sodium takes a global toll, attributing 1.65 million deaths from cardiovascular disease to sodium consumption.

Nitric oxide is a pronatriuretic and prodiuretic factor. The highest renal NO synthase (NOS) activity is found in the inner medullary collecting duct. The collecting duct (CD) is the site of daily fine-tune regulation of sodium balance, and led us to hypothesize that a CD-specific deletion of NOS1 would result in an impaired ability to excrete a sodium load leading to a salt-sensitive blood pressure phenotype. We bred AQP2-CRE mice with NOS1 floxed mice to produce flox control and CD-specific NOS1 knockout (CDNOS1KO) littermates. CDs from CDNOS1KO mice produced 75% less nitrite, and urinary nitrite+nitrate (NOx) excretion was significantly blunted in the knockout genotype. When challenged with high dietary sodium, CDNOS1KO mice showed significantly reduced urine output, sodium, chloride, and NOx excretion, and increased mean arterial pressure relative to flox control mice. In humans, urinary NOx is a newly identified biomarker for the progression of hypertension. These findings reveal that NOS1 ...

The program focuses on primary preventive measures: encouraging Americans to take aspirin if they are found to be at risk for heart disease, get their high blood pressure under control, manage blood cholesterol levels, and stop smoking.. Cardiovascular disease is a big problem and Million Hearts is a big solution, says Thomas Frieden, M.D., director of the CDC.. If the program is successful, Dr. Frieden estimates that 10 million more Americans will get their high blood pressure under control; 20 million more Americans will be treating their high cholesterol effectively; 4 million fewer Americans will smoke; and consumption of artificial trans fat will be cut by half and sodium consumption by 20 percent.. I am confident we can save a million hearts, Dr. Frieden says.. Always talk with your health care provider to find out more information.. ...

Reducing average adult population sodium intake to the recommended 2,300 mg per day would reduce hypertension cases by 11 million and save $18 billion in health care, a new study estimates.

Parents of children who died after administration of the pentavalent vaccine have reported to me of their children crying inconsolably soon after vaccination and then having seizures-continuous and intractable seizures-before they died. Convulsions are a known adverse reaction to vaccination. If a child survives, the convulsions are attributed to the vaccine because convulsions are acknowledged as a known adverse reaction to the vaccine. If a child died due to continuous convulsion , it is labelled as a coincidental death (and not a death related to vaccine) because death is not an acknowledged side effect of the vaccine. This has happened repeatedly but each death is erased as not related and then health authorities can claim that no death has ever been reported related to the vaccine, even after extensive phase 4 trials in millions of children ...

In 2012, Costa Rica launched a program to reduce salt and sodium consumption to prevent cardiovascular disease and associated risk factors, but little was known about the level of sodium consumption or its sources. Our aim was to estimate the magnitude and time trends of sodium consumption (based on food and beverage acquisitions) in Costa Rica. Data from the National Household Income and Expenditure Surveys carried out in 2004-2005 (n = 4231) and 2012-2013 (n = 5705) were used. Records of food purchases for household consumption were converted into sodium and energy using food composition tables. Mean sodium availability (per person/per day and adjusted for a 2000-kcal energy intake) and the contribution of food groups to this availability were estimated for each year. Sodium availability increased in the period from 3.9 to 4.6 g/person/day (p < 0.001). The income level was inversely related to sodium availability. The main sources of sodium in the diet were domestic salt (60%) in addition to

1. In six healthy subjects the role of renal prostaglandins (PG) in modulating the actions of the renin-angiotensin and renal adrenergic nervous systems on renal function was investigated.. 2. During high dietary sodium intake (350 mmol/day) for 4 days no changes in urinary excretion of PGE2, PGF2α, noradrenaline or adrenaline were noted, whereas plasma renin activity (PRA) and urinary aldosterone excretion were suppressed.. 3. After 4 days of low sodium intake (35 mmol/day) urinary excretion of PGE2, aldosterone and noradrenaline, as well as PRA, had significantly increased.. 4. Inhibition of PG synthesis with indomethacin (2 mg/kg body weight) had no effects on renal function on day 5 of high sodium intake. Despite suppression of PRA and urinary aldosterone, indomethacin significantly reduced p-aminohippurate (PAH) clearance, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and urinary sodium excretion on day 5 of low sodium intake, when urinary noradrenaline excretion remained high.. 5. The results point to ...

1. During 4 weeks 37 normotensive 50-year-old men identified by screening in a random population sample were given 12 g of NaCl daily, in addition to their usual dietary sodium intake. Blood pressure, heart rate, weight, urinary excretion of sodium, potassium and catecholamines, plasma aldosterone and noradrenaline and intra-erythrocyte sodium content were determined on normal and increased salt intake. The subjects were divided into those with a positive family history of hypertension (n = 11) and those without such a history (n = 26).. 2. Systolic blood pressure and weight increased significantly irrespective of a positive family history of hypertension.. 3. On normal salt intake intra-erythrocyte sodium content was significantly higher in those with a positive family history of hypertension. During high salt intake intra-erythrocyte sodium content decreased significantly in that group and the difference between the hereditary subgroups was no longer significant.. 4. In the whole group urinary ...

High sodium and low potassium intakes have been linked to hypertension. Americans consume higher than recommended amounts of sodium and lower than recommended amounts of potassium. The new dietary reference intake (DRI) values for sodium are 1500 mg/day for men and women ages 19-50 years, 1300 mg/day for men and women ages 50 to 70 years of age, and 1200 mg/day for men and women >70 years of age. The very first DRI for potassium is set at 4700 mg/day of potassium for both men and women >18 years of age. The data of 6,135 persons aged 18 years and older from NHANES 1999-2000 and 2001-2002 were analyzed in this study to assess sodium and potassium intakes of Americans. The variables were gender, age, ethnicity, annual household income, education level, and body mass index (BMI). The statistical software, SUDAAN was used to control the weights of the samples, and least square of means were calculated to control the confounding factors. The mean daily sodium intakes (mean ± SEM) for White male, ...

Introduction: Whether high sodium intake, assessed by 24-hour urinary sodium excretion (24hrUNaEx), is associated with altered glycemic control, evaluated by hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C), in the African American population remains unknown. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between 24hrUNaEx and HbA1C in young overweight/obese African Americans.. Methods: A total of 106 apparently healthy overweight/obese drug-naïve African Americans were recruited. Subjects were asked to discard the first morning urine specimen and collect all remaining urine specimens for next 24-hr including a urine specimen of the following morning. HbA1C was measured from venous blood by ion-exchange chromatography.. Results: The means (± SE) of age and body mass index (BMI) of subjects (67%, 71/106 females) were 24.30±0.82 years and 35.51±0.70 kg/m2, respectively. Average 24hrUNaEx was 172.17±7.09 mEq/L/d, which corresponded to average sodium intake of 3.96±1.63 g/d. Pearsons correlation analysis revealed a positive ...

She notes that, in addition to Canada, efforts to reduce sodium content in processed foods are occurring in many markets with countries such as the U.K. taking an early lead.. Yulia Borsuk, Cigi Baking Technical Specialist, concurs: When we visited commercial bakeries in Latin America last year, for example, sodium reduction was of primary importance.. The Canadian baking industry has been gradually reducing salt levels in commercial breads in response to a Health Canada initiative aiming to decrease sodium consumption as a health risk contributing to rates of hypertension and heart disease. According to Health Canada, Canadians consume twice the recommended amount of sodium, largely from processed foods.. In 2008 Health Canada established the Sodium Working Group to set guidelines for a gradual voluntary decrease of sodium in the Canadian food supply by December 31, 2016. A document Health Canada published in 2012 providing the food industry with recommended sodium levels in processed foods ...

The researchers divided the 766 participants into two groups, based on whether they consumed over 4,100 mg of salt per day, or under 2,400 mg of salt a day. Participants in both groups consumed well over the American Heart Associations recommended daily salt serving of 1,500 mg.. Study lead author Haidong Zhu, assistant professor of pediatrics at the Medical College of Georgia, Georgia Regents University in Augusta, Georgia, said, Even in these relatively healthy young people, we can already see the effect of high sodium intake, suggesting that high sodium intake and obesity may act synergistically to accelerate cellular aging.. Researchers discovered that protective ends of a chromosome called telomeres, which typically shorten with age, appeared to be significantly shorter in overweight and obese participants with a high salt intake, but not in teens of a normal weight with a high salt intake. ...

There is consistent evidence linking excessive dietary sodium intake to risk factors for cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression in CKD patients; however, additional research is needed. In research trials and clinical practice, implementing and monitoring sodium intake present significant challenges. Epidemiological studies have shown that sodium intake remains high, and intervention studies have reported varied success with participant adherence to a sodium-restricted diet. Examining barriers to sodium restriction, as well as factors that predict adherence to a low sodium diet, can aid researchers and clinicians in implementing a sodium-restricted diet. In this paper, we critically review methods for measuring sodium intake with a specific focus on CKD patients, appraise dietary adherence, and factors that have optimized sodium restriction in key research trials and discuss barriers to sodium restriction and factors that must be considered when recommending a sodium

A low-sodium diet restricts the amount of sodium (salt) in your diet. On this diet, you should aim to consume no more than 2,300 milligrams (mg) of sodium per day. This is the amount in about one teaspoon of table salt.. Sodium is a mineral found in many foods. Most people consume much more sodium than they need. Diets high in sodium can increase blood pressure. A high-sodium diet may increase your risk of stroke . Reducing your sodium intake may help lower blood pressure. ...

Most ready-to-eat meals for toddlers have too much salt, government researchers say.. Of the 1,115 ready-to-eat toddlers meals examined in a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly three-quarters were high in salt, the researchers said. Some of the meals contained as much as 630 milligrams of sodium per serving - about 40 percent of the American Heart Associations recommended daily sodium intake for children (1,500 mg).. The findings are concerning because high salt intake is known to increase the risk of high blood pressure, even in children. In addition, studies suggest people develop a taste for salt earlier in life.. Children are not born with a taste for salt, said study researcher Joyce Maalouf, of the CDC. The less sodium children consume, the less they will want it, Maalouf said.. The researchers examined nutrition labels on ready-to-eat meals for babies (less than 1 year old) and toddlers (ages 1 to 3). Examples of toddler meals include macaroni and cheese, ...

According to the website of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Commerce, 27 major supermarkets in Beijing will arrange special counters for low-sodium salt products in each of their outlets.. It is said that the promotion of low-sodium salt is one of the most important tasks for the Beijing municipal government in the year when BMBC anticipates that low-sodium salt account for 10% of the total sales of small package salt products. To respond to the governments initiative, 959 stores belonging to the 27 supermarkets will set up a special counter to sell low-sodium salt products.. It is learned that from late May, 2010, 475-gram packages of low-sodium salt, which include 75 complimentary grams of salt offered by the municipal government plus a 2-gram salt measuring spoon, will be available in all 959 outlets.. Made of iodized salt with specific added amounts of potassium chloride and bitter salt, low-sodium salt is aimed at helping people improve their health and prevent disease. ...

Subjects begin with 5 mg/day of nebivolol and increase to 10 mg/day if brachial blood pressure is greater than 120/80 mmHg during the first 2 weeks of therapy. Subjects also receive weekly lifestyle counseling by a registered dietitian to ensure adequate progress and compliance. Sample menus, 14-days of meal plans, and grocery shopping lists are provided to each individual. Individuals will be instructed to reduce their daily caloric intake by 500-1000 calories and to perform a minimum of 150 min/wk of moderate-intensity physical activity or 3000 steps/day above baseline levels.

Many foods are high in sodium, but they are often sources of other nutrients. For example, olives, cheese, and canned tuna are high in sodium, but nutrient-rich. Olives contain heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, cheese is a good source of protein and calcium, and canned tuna and salmon have high-quality protein and heart-healthy omega-three fats. It is okay to include these foods sometimes, especially when the other foods in your diet are lower in sodium. Many processed foods are better targets for lowering sodium consumption, since they are often low in essential nutrients or high in less-healthy components. ...

Salt, also known as table salt, kitchen salt, or rock salt, is a mineral made up of 40 percent sodium and 60 percent chloride (1 gm of sodium is equal 2.5 gm of salt). Salt is essential to our life and we cannot live without it. Sodium is necessary for the movement of electrical charges in the nerves that move our muscles, helps us to regulate the bloods water content, and serves to balance the acids and bases in the blood. Too little salt in the diet (less than 180 mg of sodium a day) can lead to dizziness, muscle cramps, electrolyte disturbance, certain neurological problems, and death. Too much salt in the diet (more than 500 mg of sodium a day) can lead to hypertension (elevated blood pressure), which is a major risk factor for a heart attack and stroke (cardiovascular and cerebravascular diseases are the first and third leading cause of death in the United States, respectively). Increasing evidence also suggests that the excessive sodium consumption contributes to gastro-esophageal cancer, ...

Who its best for: DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, so people with high blood pressure should theoretically benefit the most.. How it works: The DASH diet plan prevents and controls high blood pressure with whole foods that are low in sodium. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) helped develop the DASH diet, so its no surprise its the number one diet for a healthy heart. It also tops the U.S. News World Reports annual best diets list year after year.. What to eat: Foods high in potassium, calcium, protein and fiber. Think fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean fish, poultry, beans, nuts and low-fat dairy.. What to avoid: Salt. Daily sodium intake should hover around 1,500 mg and never more than 2,300. The diet also reduces sugars, fats and red meat.. Level of difficulty: Giving up fatty, sugary and salty treats is never easy, but the DASH diet doesnt restrict entire food groups, making it more likely youll stay with the plan. Plus, the lean protein and ...

Acronym: International Population Study of Macronutrients and BP. Purpose: Analysis of the association between dietary factors, particularly macronutrients, and blood pressure. Format: Observational, cohort, cross-sectional. Number of Participants: 4,680. Centers: 17. Summary: 24-hour urinary sodium excretion was related to urinary sodium/potassium in the entire group and the United States. In the group from the United States, a 2-standard deviation increase in 24-hour urinary sodium excretion (118.74 mmol/24 hours) was linked to increased systolic blood pressure of 3.73 mm Hg (95% CI, 2.45-5.01). The relationship between sodium and blood pressure persisted after controlling for factors. BMI weakened the relationship between sodium and blood pressure. A significant positive relationship between blood pressure and urinary sodium was seen in participants with normal weight or obesity. Original Publication: Stamler J, et al.

It might seem like a healthy choice, but scientists have officially linked the beloved sandwich as the #1 source of North Americans salt intake, and therefore a very major cause of severe cardiovascular problems. The new study is published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Current guidelines suggest that adults should consume under 1500 mg of sodium per day, and should never exceed the upper limit of 2300 mg/day. By these thresholds, sandwiches alone contributed 30-46% of the recommended upper limit of daily sodium intake. But we shouldnt really be surprised. First of all, as a population, approximately 80% of North Americans exceed the upper limit of sodium every single day. You can read more by visiting PLOS.. ...

The Lowdown: Although Cinnamon Toast Crunch is not the worst in terms of nutrition among these conventional cereals, it makes a significant dent into the recommended daily allowances set by the American Heart Association (AHA). The AHA recommends only six teaspoons of added sugar per day for women, nine teaspoons for men, and four teaspoons for children ages four to eight; just one serving of Cinnamon Toast Crunch contains about two and a half teaspoons of simple sugars. It also contains 15% of the recommended daily sodium intake, a significant portion for only ¾ cup of cereal. According to Time Magazine, this cereal has the most television advertisements aimed at children out of a group of ten evaluated cereals, with six 11 year-olds seeing an average of 82 commercials for Cinnamon Toast Crunch throughout a 15-month study. It is no wonder that unhealthy habits start early, and the effects of those choices can carry on to adult life ...

Salt has the power to add a big punch of flavor, to preserve foods so they last longer, and to season almost anything, but it can also be very hurtful to your body. Most Americans consume too much salt on a daily basis. A healthy diet requires a pinch of salt in your food, or about 180 mg-500mg per day. Restaurant and store bought foods tend to have much more than just a pinch of salt. Most people end up consuming about 3,436mg. While it might make your food taste better, too much sodium can have a negative effect on your body. A diet high in sodium can lead to high blood pressure, osteoporosis or poor bone development, kidney stones or renal failure, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, breathing difficulties, ulcers and even certain types of cancer. People who have been diagnosed with heart disease or kidney failure are always instructed by their doctors to shift gears into a low-sodium diet. If you feel the need to add salt-like flavor to your food, consider using Nu-Salt, a sodium-free salt ...

STATISTICALLY SPEAKING, theres a about a 50 percent chance that youre planning to have a sandwich today. Thats not necessarily a bad thing, but research published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics indicates that much of the sodium and calories we consume comes from sandwiches.. Researchers analysed the dietary intake of 5,762 adults who participated in the What We Eat in America, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2009-2010. They found that 49 percent of U.S. adults-54 percent of women and 44 percent of men-eat at least one sandwich daily, and that those sandwiches account for 20 percent of their daily dietary sodium intake.. Researchers also found that those who ate sandwiches on the day they were surveyed ate an average of 300 calories more than non-sandwich-eaters, and took in an average of roughly 600 more milligrams of sodium, compared to those who did not eat sandwiches..
