Sodium is found naturally in milk, meats and certain vegetables. It is also added to foods such as breads, cereals and prepared canned and frozen products. Many factors can affect blood pressure, including family history of high blood pressure, weight, age, physical activity and alcohol intake. Also, a person's blood pressure responds differently to different levels of sodium in their diet. At present, however, there is no way to determine if a person might develop high blood pressure from eating too much sodium.
Table salt is just one source of sodium.
Sodium is also found in a number of other forms, such as baking soda and baking powder. All rights reserved.
