CDC – Most of the people across the world have soft corners towards consuming meat, pasta or pizza as these food items possess more salt in them than is recommended for consumption. USCDC – a premier centre associated with disease prevention has come up with a study off late that packaged foods that are ubiquitously available at retail stores or grocery outlets across the territories of the US possess more sodium that is necessary or recommended for consumption on daily basis.
Sodium Recommendations For Healthy Living
Sodium is an important component of all salts. However, Google has come up with easy-to-use conversion tool to track down the quantity of sodium present in every salt serving. USFDA revealed earlier that any food item that has sodium levels equal to or lower than 600 mg for each meal and 480 mg available for individual foods per serving, are in fact useful and healthy.
Consuming sodium more than what is recommended for average people may lead to development of blood pressure problems untimely. High blood pressure affects the human heart and results in strokes. US CDC has found out off late that meat, pastas and pizzas have large quantities of salt which is detrimental to the human body.
What Statistics Portray?
Items sold across three census division (that corresponds to around 50 per cent of the US population) were duly examined. 70 distinct varieties of pizzas, mixed dishes with pastas, meats and myriad of dishes were tested and found that they weren’t healthy. Even 50-70 percent of soups, sandwiches, cold cuts unfortunately exceeded the standards laid down by the US FDA.
Researchers’ Views
Researchers claim that most of the breads, cheese, snacks sold in retail outlets have sodium that exceeds the recommended dosage. It has been understood that blood pressure related issues vary from place to place, particularly dependent on regions. Half a million US citizens get killed each year to this deadly disease.
The study infers that may be meeting the recommendations of sodium is tough in the current food environment. This percolates down to the fact that becoming healthy comes with a price and is tough enough in today’s market.
