What are the recommendations for meeting sodium needs?
What will be an ideal response?
Since many Americans consume more than double the recommended amount of sodium, it is important to eat whole unprocessed foods (an apple, instead of apple pie, freshly prepared meats instead of deli meats). Reading the food labels is essential for controlling sodium intake. Increasing potassium intake from green leafy vegetables and fruits is also recommended since sodium and potassium work together.
