No more contingencies = âsale pendingâ. A deal thatâs truly pending is one in which the buyers have removed all contingencies. The buyer is âlocked inâ to buying the home. The final step is to move toward closing, which can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.
Upper Limit. The âDietary Guidelines for Americans 2010â addresses sodium intake in detail. The average daily sodium intake for Americans is 3,400 milligrams per day, an excessive amount that raises blood pressure and poses health risks. In general, Americans should limit daily sodium consumption to 2,300 milligrams, but this is an upper safe limit, not a recommended daily allowance.
The current guidelines suggest that people younger than 50 should consume less than 2,300 mg of sodium per day and that people over 50 should have less than 1,500 mg per day. The average American consumes between 2,645 and 4,945 mg of sodium a day. The new report looked at data from 25 different studies on health risks associated with sodium intake. Over 274,000 people were included in the analysis.
