Sodium: Sodium is an essential mineral that helps regulate the balance of fluids in your body. While the body needs some sodium, consuming too much can cause health problems like high blood pressure and increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. Foods high in sodium include processed and packaged foods, fast food, and many restaurant meals. It is important to be mindful of your sodium intake and to choose lower-sodium options when possible.
