II m mi by Vlrflnio Hill SHAKE THE HABIT-NOT THE SHAKER The other night I was eating out with several people. Our meal arrived, was placed before us and three of the six people eating reached for the salt shaker and sprinkled before they had even taken a bite. Habit? Maybe, or some pre-knowledge that the rest of us didn't have that die food was so bland it needed help. I would guess habit. Scientists generally estimate that Americans eat from 6 to 18 grams of salt per day. The National Academy of Science estimates that a safe and adequate dietary sodium intake is between 1.1 and 3.3 grams. Table salt, which we use to take the blandness out of food, is commonly known as sodium chloride. Table salt is 40 percent sodium. Sodium is needed by the body to control water balance, to help nutrients to reach body cells, and to send messages to the nerves. However, sodium is needed by the body in relatively small amounts. One level teaspoon of salt has approximately 2,300 milligrams of sodium. There are 100 milligrams in a gram. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is one of the chief pre­ disposing causes of heart disease and stroke. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute estimates that 35 million Americans have high blood pressure or hypertension, and another 25 million are borderline hypertensives, people very likely to develop the disease. High sodium intake, primarily through table salt, is a ma: risk factor in hypertension. Regulating salt intake is a! extremely important for people who have this disease. It is virtually impassible for consumers to know how much sodium is in the processed foods they eat unless they are willing to pay extra for salt-free foods. Even when food labels do list ingredients, consumers can't tell the amount of salt unless the packer has elected to use the voluntary nutrition labeling format in which sodium content is declared. Examples of sodium contents in some foods are as follows: an apple has 5 milligrams of salt; a banana, 2; a baked potato, 15; potato chips, 775; green beans fresh, one cup, 12; green beans frozen, one cup, 13; green beans canned, 2,300. Soy sauce, one tablespoon, has 3,300 milligrams of sodium. Bologna, two slices, 1,125. A large dill pickle has 4,800 milligrams. As a rule, all fruits are low in salt. Fresh vegetables are also low in salt, as are most frozen vegetables. Peas and lima beans are the exception because salt is added during the freezing process. Canned vegetables contain the highest amount of salt. Fresh meats, fish, poultry, eggs, cheese and milk are higher in salt than fresh vegetables, but still much lower than processed foods which have salt added as a preservative and flavor enhancer. A reduction in the amount of sodium salt consumption would appear to be a wise! preventative measure for all Americans. For those with hypertension or a history of hypertension in the family, such a reduction might be critically important. Some suggestions that might help you watch how much salt you're eating are: -just take the salt shaker off the table; -cut down on salt in cooking; -change the ingredients in your recipes to limit salt; •limit obviously salty processed foods; -use more fresh and froten vegetables than canned ones with salt added; -limit highly salted snack foods such as chips, pretzels and crackers; •cut back on the use of commercially prepared condiments and foodi such as ketchup, barbecue, Worcestershire or soy sauces, mustard, relishes and pickles, bullion cubes, meat tenderizers, monosodium glutamate, gravy mixes, and canned soups. -carefully experiment with hay leaves, thyme, sage, marjoram and other herbs ana spices to flavor your food instead of using salt Remember, if you salt before you taste, you may have a big problem. The best thing to do would be to "shake the salt habit rather than the salt sh rather than the salt shaker The sawfish, a huge member of the rey family, some­ times reaches 20 feet end weighs more than 700 pounds.
