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.
Aim for 2,300 milligrams of sodium or less per day. Sodium helps make our food delicious, but it has some serious downsides. The 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend an upper limit for sodium consumption of 2,300 milligrams of sodium per day for adults. If you are African American, age 51 or older or have high blood pressure, diabetes or chronic disease -- about half the general population -- that recommendation is lowered to 1,500 milligrams per day. Average American consumption of sodium is close to 3,400 milligrams of sodium per day, potentially more than double the safe intake. Evidence shows that consuming too much sodium can raise blood pressure, which is a risk factor for stroke, and limiting your sodium intake can benefit your health.
