The Hidden Danger at your Table
For those who already have high blood pressure, and even those who don`t, be forewarned that Thanksgiving dinner alone can pass 2,000 milligrams of salt into your diet. Stealth sodium can have a huge impact on your blood pressure, and thanks to the average American diet, everyday can be salt city unless you`re very careful. Most often, salt is a result of our on the go lifestyles, from fast food restaurants to 4 star ones and even processed foods.
Everything on your Thanksgiving table from your green bean casserole to your pumpkin pie can be loaded with salt, so the advice given from nutritionists is ``the more you can cook from scratch, the better off you are``.
