Reduce your Na for better health
YORK - With all the
publicity about diet and its
relationship to health and
disease, it’s no wonder that
many Americans think table
salt, or sodium chloride, is
bad. It’s reached the point
where many think any food
condiment that tastes good
or makes another food taste
better mu*>i oe bad, says
Marcy Seckman, home
e ouomist. The truth is, both
chlorine and m particular,
sodium, are normal and
i cssary components of
body tissues and fluids.
What’s more, we must get
them in our food and drink,
because we can neither
make them ourselves nor
store them.
Much concern about
sodium centers on its
relationship to hypertension,
or high blood pressure. Smce
sodium plays a major role in
regulating body fluids, it is
reasonable to assume that it
also affects blood pressure.
But sodium does not cause
hypertension; in fact, the
cause of most hypertension
in individuals is not known.
What is known is that the
blood pressure of many
persons with essential (of
unknown cause) hyper
tension will go down when
these persons severely
restrict their sodium intake.
In general, many scientists
behve that obesity, genetic
predisposition and general
nutritional status may play a
larger role than sodium m
the development or
aggravation of high blood
pressure.
If you want a limit your
salt intake, as has been
recommended by the

U.S.D.A., it shouldn’t be
hard to cut down from 10-12
grams of sodium chloride a
day to about 8 grams.
First of all, use your salt
shaker less. If you must salt,
salt only certain items on
your dinner plate, not
everything. Second, you’ll
want to limit your intake of
salty foods. This mcludes
pickles, olives, sauerkraut,
smoked or salty meats, fish
and snack items. Also it
means cutting back on
bouillon cubes, canned soups
and many sauces you may
use to prepare food, such as
soy sauce and barbecue
sauce.
It’s important to read
labels, too. You may be

MEW IDEA
surprised to leam that some
processed foods which
contain no table salt
don’t taste salty have lots of
sodium. Examples are
sodium bicarbonate (baking
soda), monosodium
glutamate, most baking
powders, disodium
phosphate, sodium alginate,
sodium benzoate, sodium
hydroxide, sodium
propionate, sodium sulfite,
and sodium saccharin. Look
for the word soda or sodium
or the symbol “Na” on
labels.
Even though you do not
have hypertension or a
family history of it, it is not a
bad idea to reduce your salt
intake a little.
