Sodium![]() |
||||
Although sodium is in most foods, table salt (sodium chloride) is the main dietary source of this mineral.
Foods high in salt, such as convenience foods, olives, pickles, luncheon meats, potato chips, and canned soups, provide large amounts of sodium in the diet.
A diet based soley on unprocessed, wholesome foods with no added salt would provide more than enough sodium for the body's functions.
