Question

Adults and children should limit their intake of sodium because?

Answer 1

Sodium is an essential nutrient and is needed by
the body in relatively small quantities, provided that
substantial sweating does not occur. On average,
the higher an individual’s sodium intake, the higher
the individual’s blood pressure. A strong body
of evidence in adults documents that as sodium
intake decreases, so does blood pressure. Moderate evidence in children also has documented that
as sodium intake decreases, so does blood pressure.
Keeping blood pressure in the normal range reduces
an individual’s risk of cardiovascular disease, congestive heart failure, and kidney disease. Therefore, adults
and children should limit their intake of sodium.
