How Much Sodium Do You Eat?
The American Heart Association says that the ideal limit for sodium intake for most adults is 1500 mg per day. I think that is totally unrealistic. Can anyone say that they can actually achieve this limit? I think, that if most people followed this guideline, almost every restaurant in The Villages would go out of business. Also, the grocery stores would need to remove most of their canned, frozen, and processed foods from the shelves.

It’s very doable. Only fresh veggies ( frozen has very little added sodium). We do not use canned anything, but do can ourselves. Never fast food, we may eat out couple times a month but adjust our intake accordingly. It was how we were raised, didn’t have to change much of anything.

Going though a daily normal diet and adding up the mg of sodium, I consume between 5000 and 7000 during a typical day. It was more when I was young, but that is normal for the last 30 or so years. I even add salt to my coffee as it takes away any bitter taste. I far exceed 1500 mg for breakfast. Im over 70 and so far no Ill effects. Keep in mind that fast food makes a fortune by increasing the sodium level to the products and others make a living trying to scare you to death until you use their gimmicks to combat it. Worry about sugar and pour on the salt.
