El sodio es un elemento que el cuerpo necesita para funcionar apropiadamente con el fin de regular la presión y el volumen sanguíneos. Para los individuos que son sensibles al sodio, el aumento en la ingesta de este elemento puede contribuir a la presión sanguínea alta. Cuando se vaya a mirar la ingesta de sodio, se aconseja leer las etiquetas cuidadosamente para determinar el contenido total de este elemento, ya que los alimentos enlatados, empacados o congelados pueden tener un contenido de sodio particularmente alto.
