Why is a low-sodium diet important?

Sodium is a mineral that helps regulate blood pressure However, too much sodium can raise blood pressure, which can lead to different issues like:

  • Heart disease
  • Stroke
  • Calcium loss
  • Kidney disease
  • And other health issues
How can I reduce sodium in my diet?

Start with these basics...

The American Heart Association recommends that adults consume no more than 2,300 milligrams (mg) of sodium per day.  However, many people consume much more than that. The average American consumes about 3,400 mg of sodium per day, or 1.5 teaspoons!  Because of my Meniere’s diagnosis, I try to keep my sodium levels at about 1,200 – 1,500 mg per day.
