Keeping a food logbook helps with accountability regarding your eating habits especially if you are having to record your intake of certain foods or nutritional data. If your healthcare provider suggests that you lower your sodium intake because of certain medical issues, it is a good practice to have an idea of the amount of sodium you are consuming during meal times.
The American Heart Association recommends no more than 2,300 mg. a day with an ideal limit of fewer than 1,500 mg per day for most adults, especially if they have high blood pressure. For example, one teaspoon of salt contains about 2,300 mg. of sodium. Cutting back by 1,000 mg. a day can improve blood pressure and heart health. In order to monitor your intake, you need a food diary, journal or logbook.
