Here is a great web site with some delicious low sodium recipes (and quick to prepare too!). Your family can enjoy these recipes as well because most Americans eat 3,436 milligrams of salt each and every day as an adult. This is far above the recommended levels, as adults are usually not supposed to consume more than 2,300 milligrams on a daily basis.

You'll be taking care of yourself and your loved ones. Put the salt shaker down and enjoy some fruit and fresh vegetables.

I wanted to know if anyone has been told a certain amount of water that they should drink daily. I have the heartmate 3 and I try to drink at least 96 oz a day.
