What is Sodium? • Essential mineral in small amounts • Electrolyte • Table salt – Sodium and Chloride (NaCl)
Function in Body • Helps maintain balance of fluids • Helps transmit nerve impulses • Influences contraction and relaxation of muscles
Function in Food • Preservatives • Inhibits growth of food-borne pathogens • Modify flavor • Binds ingredients • Enhances color • Stabilizer
2005 Dietary Guidelines • 2,300 mg – Healthy Adult • 1,500 mg – High blood pressure, kidney disease or diabetes • Average American consumes 3,500 mg daily http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/sodium/NU00284

Sodium equivalents • ¼ teaspoon salt = 600 mg • ½ teaspoon salt = 1,200 mg • ¾ teaspoon salt = 1,800 mg • 1 teaspoon salt = 2,300 mg • 1 teaspoon baking soda = 1,000 mg
Food Labels • Sodium Free <5 mg/serving • Very Low <35 mg/serving • Low Sodium <140 mg/serving • Reduced Sodium – Usual sodium level is reduced by 25% • “healthy” <480 mg/serving • “meal type” <600 mg/serving
Sea Salt • Grains obtained from the natural evaporation of seawater • Undergoes little or no refining technique which allows it to retain natural traces of other minerals • Contains same amount of sodium as table salt
Sodium health links • High blood pressure • Heart Disease • Stroke
Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) • 412 Adults assigned to one of the following diets • DASH diet: Emphasize fruits, vegetables, low fat dairy products, whole grains, poultry, fish, and nuts • Typical US diet • Results: The DASH diet significantly lowered blood pressure • Long-term health benefits depend on the ability of people to make long-lasting dietary changes and the increased availability of lower-sodium foods
Reducing Sodium Intake What are some lifestyle changes that you could make to reduce your sodium intake?
Ways to reduce sodium intake • Food items without added salts • Unsalted nuts, seeds, beans • Limit salty snacks (pretzels and chips) • Avoid adding salt and canned vegetables to homemade dishes • Unsalted and sodium, fat-free broths and soups • Skim or 1% milk • Low sodium, low fat cheeses • Add spices and herbs to enhance taste • Add fresh lemon juice instead of salt to fresh vegetables
Potassium in the Diet • High (> 400 mg/serving) • Banana • Potato • Avocado • Orange juice • Moderate (>200 mg/serving) • Berries • Broccoli • Tomato
Low Potassium Fruit & Vegetables >100 mg/serving • Cranberries • Apple • Corn • Lettuce • Pineapple • String beans
