About Sodium

Sodium is a naturally occurring mineral essential for various bodily functions, including maintaining fluid balance, transmitting nerve impulses, and supporting muscle function. It is commonly found in table salt, seawater, and a wide range of foods, both natural and processed. Used globally, sodium plays a key role in enhancing flavor in cuisines like Chinese, Italian, and American comfort food, often found in condiments, snacks, and preserved items. While small amounts are vital for health, excessive consumption can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, and other health issues. The recommended daily intake is under 2,300 milligrams for most adults, emphasizing moderation. For a balanced diet, focus on whole foods like fruits and vegetables, which are naturally low in sodium, and limit overly salty snacks and processed meals. Sodium is helpful for your body—but only when consumed mindfully.
