London – Many people, especially those who should limit their sodium intake due to heart health concerns, ingest more of this element than is advised daily. A recent study discovered individuals with cardiovascular disease (CVD) were ingesting more than twice as much sodium per day — 1,500 mg— as is advised. The study participants ingested an average of 3,096 mg of sodium daily, with 89% exceeding the recommended daily intake. The results were presented at the Annual Scientific Session of the American College of Cardiology.
