To find the number of calories you would burn in any activity, divide your weight by 150 and multiply that result by the number of calories for an activity. First divide 100 by 150 to get 0.67. Then multiply 0.67 by 240 calories. That equals 160 calories. NIH Publication No.
Studies show that when some people cut back on salt and sodium, their blood pressure drops.
It happens particularly among African-Americans and the elderly. Sodium occurs naturally in foods. That equals 6 grams or 1 teaspoon of table salt. And for people with high normal blood pressure, cutting back on salt and sodium is also a good way to prevent blood pressure from rising. These days, it's easier than ever to keep track of how much salt and sodium you eat.
