Even if you rarely season your food with salt, you are still likely consuming too much salt, say the people at the Institute of Medicine (IOM). Thanks to the processed foods, most of us eat double upper limit of salt. This may raise the risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney disease and stomach cancer. The IOM has issued new guidelines. Currently, the percent daily value of sodium on nutrition labels is based on an upper limit of 2,400 mg a day. The new recommended amount is 1,500 mg for healthy 9-to-50 year olds, and even less for others. But food labels won`t reflect this change yet. So look for low-sodium eats, and cut back on foods like dressings and canned soups.
