This level of sodium helps maintain blood pressure, nerve function, normal muscle impulses and the body's correct balance of water and minerals.<br /> For the body to perform these actions, the minimum amounts (mentioned above) of sodium should be consumed.<br /> The good news is if we cut out all salt and eat a balanced diet, we will get enough sodium. Nearly all food has some sodium in it. </p>
