If you have high blood pressure, just a small reduction in your sodium intake can already improve your heart health, while reducing blood pressure by ‘about 5 to 6 mm Hg,’ shares Mayo Clinic. They also share that a lower sodium intake of around 1,500 mg a day or less is ideal for most adults, although the effects of sodium differs from person to person. Some tips to help lessen the amount of sodium you consume in a day is to not add salt to your food. Instead, choose to add some spices and herbs to add more flavor. In addition, read food labels and choose products that have lower amounts of sodium in them, as well as eating less processed foods can help to lower blood pressure as well.
