A member asked:
I have been trying to cut sodium down. yesterday i had around 2500mg without realizing it. (rice a roni). does drinking a lot of water negate this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reduce sodium: Ideal sodium intake in diet/day is 1500-2000 mg. All processed food ,soup cans,boxed food & bread etc etc are loaded with sodium.Read all labels of food you buy in super market. Water drinking will negate to some extent. Change your diet to more vegetables & fruits.
