The Low-Sodium Cookbook - Stephanie Sharp - Bog

If you are worried about your health, then you should always try to maintain the amount of sodium in your blood. The normal healthy person should always try to consume approximately 136 to 145 mEq/L or 2300 mg of sodium each day. The best way to maintain sodium level is to follow a diet with a moderate amount of sodium. Sodium is an important electrolyte that has to be in a moderate amount in our body. In fact, it helps to regulate the water that's in & around our cells. Excess or shortage of it can cause serious health conditions. Hyponatremia (Low blood sodium level) generally occurs when one has too much of water and an unusually low quantity of sodium in the blood. It can cause severe health conditions like muscle cramps, headache, weakness, heart failure, liver problems, kidney failure, and cirrhosis. Whereas, on the other hand, symptoms like frequent urination, frequent headaches, high blood pressure, swelling in few places, persistent thirst & desire for salty foods simply suggests that you are consuming too much of sodium in your everyday's routine. In this book, we would cover a lot of low-sodium recipes that you may try for your loved ones.
