Low sodium food
The human adult needs 500 to 1000 milligrams of sodium per day. In actuality, the average American consumes 2,500 to 5,000 milligrams per day. One teaspoon of table salt contains 2,300 milligrams of sodium.
Reducing sodium in the diet may reduce high blood pressure in some people. This in turn can decrease the likelihood of heart or kidney disease and stroke. A low-sodium diet may need to be combined with weight loss and exercise to decrease blood pressure.
A low sodium diet = a greater chance to achieve your six pack.
