Diet and Lifestyle Recommendations (Revision) for CVD Risk Reduction (Lichtenstein et al., 2006)
|
Choose and prepare foods with little salt
“In view of the available high-sodium food supply and the currently high levels of sodium consumption, a reduction in sodium intake to 1,500 mg/d (65 mmol/d) is not easily achievable at present. In the interim, an achievable recommendation is 2,300 mg/d (100 mmol/d)”
