Part Three - Salt And SodiumWritten by Donald Gazzaniga
Continued from page 1
The salt shaker is only part of our high sodium intake. Many prepared foods use sodium as a preservative to maintain freshness and improve a food's texture and consistency. Foods that contribute to sodium in diet include soups, pasta mixtures, french fries, chicken mixtures, rice or cooked grain mixtures and pizza. In addition, frozen dinners, processed meats, canned soups, canned vegetables, salted nuts, salted chips and other snacks may have high sodium levels. Check ingredient list for words such as salt, brine, broth, cured, corned, pickled and smoked. They all indicate a presence of sodium. Individuals who have been advised to limit their sodium intake should be aware that some medications like sedatives, antacids, headache remedies and laxatives contain sodium. If you're concerned about amount of sodium you may be consuming through medication, consult with your doctor.
