East Indian Diet Tip#1 - SPICY PICKLE
All processed food has Salt. Salt aka Sodium is not necessarily bad. There are benefits of Sodium. Sodium is an essential electrolyte that helps maintain the balance of water in and around your cells. It's important for proper muscle and nerve function. It also helps maintain stable blood pressure levels.
Benefits:
However, we intake way to much Sodium! Dangers of excess Sodium.
- Balances fluids in the body
- Helps send nerve impulses
- Needed for muscle contractions
- Influences blood pressure; even modest reductions in sodium consumption can lower blood pressure
- Too much sodium can increase your risk for high blood pressure, stroke, and heart failure. But the list doesn't stop there.
- It can also increase your risk for osteoporosis, stomach cancer, kidney disease, kidney stones, an enlarged heart muscle and headaches.
- Too much sodium can also affect your appearance.
The results of the study revealed that people who increased their consumption of plain water by one to three cups daily lowered total energy intake by 68-205 calories each day and their sodium intake by 78-235 g each day. Water also gets rid of waste through urination, perspiration and bowel movements.
We need only 1280 mg of Sodium a day.
Now if you are like me you love something spicy with your food and the East Indian diet has a lot of spicy pickles that are eaten with meals. They have a lot of Sodium. In fact one serving has approx. 780 mg of Sodium in one serving.
I found another option,using the Mitchell's brand you get the pickle without the high Sodium and its pretty tasty.
However watch your sodium intake daily.
