Low Sodium Diets - Helpful Facts You Need to Know

NaCl. If you remember your high school chemistry, you'd know what these letters stand for. It is the symbol of the compound sodium chloride, more commonly known as the lowly table salt. It's an important compound that our bodies need to function properly. However, the American diet today is too high in sodium-- far more than what our bodies really need. When you consume too much salt, you retain fluid and find it difficult to breathe. A diet that is too high in sodium leads to high blood pressure and heart disease. It is also pointed to as one of the contributory factors to kidney ailments.
