TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT
Too much salt has been deemed harmful, potentially leading
to hypertension, but too little also can have a deleterious
effect on health, scientists say.
For the body to function well, there should be a proper balance between potassium and sodium, which plays a part in such key processes as circulation, digestion, metabolism and nerve impulses, says Roger Clemens, a sodium and nutritional biochemistry expert with the Institute of Food Technologists and adjunct professor at the University of Southern California. He says the rate of salt intake by U.S. consumers has not changed substantially over the past 25 years. "By paying more
attention to the Nutrition Facts Label included on all processed foods, individuals whose hypertension is affected
by sodium can begin to take control over their sodium intake,"
Clemens advises.
