You Eat Too Much Salt!!!!

People, stop eating so much salt, says this CDC post, "Americans Consume Too Much Salt - Lower sodium recommendation applies to almost 70 percent of American adults." Here's what you need to know . . . This study is the first to use national data to show that 69.2 percent of the adult population belongs to a specific group that should aim to consume no more than 1,500 mg of sodium per day. This group includes persons with high blood pressure, blacks, or middle-aged and older adults (more than 40 years old). The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that adults in general should consume less than 2,300 mg (approximately one teaspoon of salt) of sodium per day. Can you cut back on your salt?!
