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 Institute of Medicine has established adequate intake levels for sodium that address the typical needs of a healthy population. The recommended adequate intake of sodium for adults up to age 50 is 1,500 milligrams daily. Adequate daily intake for older Americans is 1,300 milligrams from age 50 through 70 and 1,200 milligrams after age 70.
