I don't understand. AAA=>AAB but AAZ=>ABA. How do you decide which letters to increment? You said increment the second letters, so I take it you mean all but the first one? Shouldn't it be AAA=>ABB if you increment all but the first letter by one? â Raoul Duke Aug 25 '10 at 15:01
We're safe with sodium . But Alderman holds a very different view, contending that the amount of sodium Americans are getting each day isn't dangerous. Rather, he thinks the amount of sodium that should be considered too much is much higher: 5,000 mg. In addition, Alderman said there is a range of sodium intake that should be considered safe: from 2,500 mg to 5,000 mg. With a daily intake of lower than 2,500 mg of sodium, cardiovascular risk goes up, he argued.
Daily Requirements. Our body only requires 460 milligrams of sodium (about 1/5 of a teaspoon of salt) to maintain good health. The American Heart Association sets the upper limit for sodium at 2,300 mg per day (about 1 teaspoon of salt) for healthy Americans. For people who have high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, or kidney disease, the recommended amount may be lower. It All Adds Up.
