'• V 105 Northwest Highway, Crystal Lake (815)459-3120 Salt shakers receive less use for health a] More and more people We using their salt shaker&fess and less, these days, and that's a healthy development. Salt, or more correctly, the 40 percent of salt that is sodium, is a needed nutrient. It helps to maintain blood volume and pressure by attracting and holding water in the blood vessels and it aids in other body functions. But too much sodium can be harmful to the health of some people. And, today, most Americans get more sodium than they need in their diet, often several times the amount that medical scientists consider safe and adequate. • V from f] the II SURGI GENEF C Everett Ko m« Isoiiimn M0 MM* NVMR ima Mir me* Overconsumption of sodium can be dangerous, because it is linked to high blood pressure, which is associated with heart attack, stroke, and kidney diseases. Some people may be predisposed to high blood pressure - that is, they're more likely to get it because of hereditary factors. But it is not possible to predict who will or will not develop high blood pressure. That's why it's so important that each of us watch our sodium intake carefully and cut down if we're consuming more sodium than we should. The National Academy of Science says that between 1,100 and 3,900 milligrams (mg) of sodium a day is a "safe and adequate" intake for most people. To help you understand these levels, a teaspoon of table sale contains nearly 2,000 mg of sodium. But the table salt shaker isn't your only source of sodium ; it's one of four sources, as a matter of fact. The others are salt or sodium that is added -duringpreparation'Iff food, sodium that is added in food processing, mainly for flavoring or as preservative, and sodium that occurs naturally in food and water. As you can see, cutting down on sodium requires a little thought. But it's worth the effort and not at all difficult, once you get the hang of being a sodium watcher. For instance, spices other than salt, a number .of herbs and such flavorings as lemon or lime juice can be substituted for salt in cooking, with tasty effect. When you dine out, you may be able to order a low-sodium or no-salt-added meal. More and more restaurants have begun to cater to the sodium-conscious customer. , Food labels can help you watch your sodium intake. A growing number of foods in the stores today show sodium content per serving right on the labels. Check the libels carefully to see it sodium 'con­ tent is listed, in milligrams per serving. If it's not, look at the listing of ingredients. Ingredients are listed in order of their predominance in that product, so that if salt is listed " third, you will know that there are only two other ingredieotsin this particular item in amounts greater than salt. Consumers also have to check the ingredient list * for ingredients other than salt that contain sodium. You might want to look, for example, for monosodium glutamate, baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), garlic salt, brine and sodium citrate. Still another way to reduce sodium intake is to use low-or reduced-sodium products. In the last couple of years, a wide variety of such products has been introduced into the marketplace in response to public demand. Included among these products are snack foods, soups, breads, condiments, canned vegetables, cereals, pastas and dairy products. Public demand for less sodium is even reflected in drug products. A number of non­ prescription or over-the-counter drugs, among them the usually high-sodium ant-acids, are now offered with no sodium or with reduced sodium content. Some sodium in the diet is necessary/ Too much sodium can toe harmful. Millions of Americans have become sodium watchers, and so, for your own good health, should you. r Pretty Christmas Pocket Soak a 16-inches in diameter, wicker mat in water t until pliable.
