Sodium Intake ?????
 
Can anyone tell me what number I should work for to "keep away" from sodium in MG's .. to work on "low sodium eating" ....

I keep thinking that I'm being good with sodium, but still seem to be holding onto the water .. and I haven't found anywhere on the site, that speaks of counting sodium MG's ..

Can anyone send me in a direction.. as I have found out that besides water -- everything bought in the store has SOME sodium in it, since it's used in preservation .. and here I think I'm doing good .. but when I tally up my numbers (such as I was in fitday) .. the sodium number looks way outrageous to me ...

Please and thanks

How about doing a general search on the Net for "low sodium". I bet there is a lot available.

Many foods naturally include sodium - carrots & milk, for instance - while others have salt added. One way to avoid salt it to eat only foods 'made from scratch' or cooked yourself instead of processed or commercial products.

Good morning Tofi ...
 
Thank you for your suggestion .. I DID find an excellent site .. and found that 2000-3000mg is considered as Low Sodium ....

Geeze .. :rolleyes: .. never thought to search on the web .. I guess I'm so dependent on answers in here . .that totally spaces my mind ... to go "outside" and check .. :lol:

Thanks for the suggestion -- and I found my info that I needed ....

For those that are interested ... a most excellent site .. is HERE - LOW SODIUM

I know I've been asked a couple of times and now I know .. it's really not as scarey as I thought ....

Thanks again Tofi ..
