Description

The body uses sodium to control blood pressure and blood volume, and for muscle and nerve function. Sodium occurs naturally in most foods. The most common form of sodium is sodium chloride--table salt. Milk, beets, and celery also naturally contain sodium. Drinking water also contains sodium, but the amount depends on the source. Sodium is also added to many food products, such as, monosodium glutamate (MSG), sodium nitrite, sodium saccharin, baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), and sodium benzoate. These are in items such as Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion salt, garlic salt, and bouillon cubes. Processed meats like bacon, sausage, and ham, and canned soups and vegetables also contain added sodium. Fast foods are generally very high in sodium. Too much sodium in the diet may lead to high blood pressure in some people or a serious buildup of fluid in people with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, or kidney disease.
