Doc's monthly tip for a healthy heart!
Lower your daily sodium intake
Too much sodium causes you to retain water, according to a small 2017 studyTrusted Source. When it does, your heart has to work harder to move the additional fluid through your body. Choose foods labeled as “no salt added,” try to avoid foods that have more than 400 milligrams of sodium per serving, and try to stay below 1500 milligrams total per day.
Whenever you can, replace salt in your cooking with herbs and spices.
