Answer to Question 1

A recommendation from the Food and Nutrition Board is that for adults the daily intake of sodium be limited to no more than 2,300 mg, with a safe minimum of 500 mg/day. Certain ethnic groups, such as African Americans with new onset of HTN and those already diagnosed with HTN, should limit sodium to 1,500 mg/day. The average adult consumes as much as 3,400 mg/day. Meat, fish, poultry, dairy products, and eggs all contain a substantial amount of sodium naturally. Water can contain varying amounts of sodium, and over-the-counter medications, prepared dinners, soft drinks, snacks, and canned foods also contain sodium.

Answer to Question 2
