As a country, we are eating way too much salt, which makes us more predisposed for preventable long-term diseases and health conditions, such as high blood pressure and heart disease O
ur daily requirement should not exceed 2,300 milligrams of sodium (about one teaspoon), which means we need to be extra vigilant about high amounts of sodium lurking in our favorite snacks, canned soups, salad dressings, condiments, and other processed foods.
This doesn’t mean we are doomed to bland food forever if we want to stay healthy. Check out the following blog posts from our Intent Voice bloggers, who offer smart advice on decreasing the salt while still enjoying flavorful food.
