Low Sodium Meals by MagicKitchen.com

According to statistics, people who consume low sodium levels are known to be healthier and have a longer life span than those who do not. Low sodium diet meals are salt free or contain a small amount of salt. In a single day, the average American is known to consume five tablespoons of salt. Unfortunately, this is about 20 times as much as the body needs. Sodium is found naturally in food and when a lot of it is added during the preparation of meals, it becomes excessive and consequently harmful to our general health. Even so, sodium is still a necessary evil. While it controls fluid in our bodies and stabilizes our blood volume and pressure when consumed in the right amount, consuming it excessively results in numerous health issues.

The following are the advantages of low sodium diet meals:

• Controlling the amount of fluid around your heart, lungs and legs
• Keeping blood pressure to a minimum
• Reducing cardiovascular diseases
• Reducing of the symptoms of heart failure
• Keeping kidney disease under control

Low-sodium meals are advisable for many conditions. In order to remain healthy, those suffering from the following conditions should keep their sodium intake level at a minimum:

Chronic Kidney Disease

Chronic kidney disease patients have lost the ability to balance sodium and water in their bodies. Therefore they need to restrict sodium and fluid intake. Excess sodium consumption generally makes them feel thirsty and this makes fluid restriction very difficult. Low-sodium diets work well for kidney disease patients as this ensures that they maintain good health and consequently a good diet.

Hypertension

When blood pressure does not travel normally through the body, hypertension develops. Hypertension dietary concerns revolve around low sodium-intake. The consumption of less sodium automatically lowers blood pressure. The more sodium is consumed, the higher the blood pressure will be. Too much sodium also causes the storage of extra water in the body. However, low sodium intake lowers the level of blood pressure.
