Salty! Has over 17% of the daily sodium max
The average American consumes 5,000 mg of sodium daily — twice the recommended amount amount of 2400mg for healthy adults, this is 1 teaspoon of salt.
For medical reasons many people should not exceed 1500mg of sodium.
Surprisingly, you're responsible for only 15% of the sodium in your diet the bigger part - 75% of the sodium that you consume each day comes from processed foods, not home cooking or the salt shaker.
Excess sodium intake increases the risk of high blood pressure, hypernatremia, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and other heart problems.
Are these reasons enough to cut the sodium intake? No doubt! -
Convert Salt tsps to Sodium mg easily
Salt (NaCl) is not excactly sodium (Na).
It is not right to use these terms as synonyms.
The FDA recommended limit of sodium is 2,300 mg per day (or even less - about 1500 mg while one is on low sodium diets).
This is much less than the weight of salt.
(5,750 mg per day or 3,750 mg for low sodium diet) and not so convenient to calculate.
Know how much sodium is in your salt - without a calculator:
1/4 tsp salt = 600 mg sodium
1/2 tsp salt = 1200 mg sodium
3/4 tsp salt = 1800 mg sodium
1 tsp salt = 2300 mg sodium -

Save $$$ and your health with beans!
Good choice! Beans are extremely healthy and economical. A 15 oz. heat n’ eat can of beans cost about $1.25 and serves 3 people. It has just 3 ingredients: Beans, water and salt. At $0.42 per diner, you get 27% of your daily fiber requirements and 7 grams of protein. And there are now BHT free packages for canned beans.

Here are some tips on how to save money and stay healthy with beans. 1. Use Dry beans. They're one of the most affordable foods out there. Soak overnight, boil until soft and you're good to go. Check the package for instructions. 2. Use beans to enrich other foods. Add beans to rice, soup and pasta sauce for extra protein and iron. You can even add them to ready-made frozen veggie mixes or stir fry meals. 3. Reduce the amount of meat in recipes and add beans instead when making chili, stir fries and pasta. 4. Take any meat-based recipe and turn it vegetarian by substituting beans - red beans tend to work well in this capacity. 5. Take a bean of your choice (garbanzos and white beans are popular) and use it on any salad - including pasta salad. 6. Sneaky beans! Add cooked white (cannellini) beans to potatoes and mash as usual to sneak some beans into you and your family's diet. Enjoy!
