sodium restriction

Sodium restriction involves reducing the amount of salt in your diet to help manage certain health conditions, such as high blood pressure or heart disease. Excess sodium can cause your body to retain water, increasing blood pressure and making your heart work harder. By limiting processed foods, choosing fresh ingredients, and avoiding adding salt during cooking, you can lower your sodium intake. This approach helps improve cardiovascular health and can reduce the risk of complications related to these conditions. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance on sodium intake suited to your specific health needs.
