Take Aways and salt – Subway
Table salt (specifically the sodium content of salt), can lead to fluid retention, weight gain (water retention) and high blood pressure.
The daily recommended limits for sodium are 2000mg. That is, try to keep your sodium consumption to under 2000mg per day.
If you have high blood pressure or kidney problems, keep your sodium to under 1500mg per day.
There are many hidden sources of sodium: Miso, gravies, flavour enhancers, stock cubes, pre-cooked meals and take aways. This is the first in a series about take aways from leading take-way chains and the sodium (salt) content in their foods.
