O Salt is one of the biggest enemies of health, especially for those suffering from heart disease. A new study presented at the annual session of the American College of Cardiology, this April, reveals that the majority of people with this type of pathology abuse the amount of sodium they consume.
According to Medical News Today, 1,500 milligrams is the recommended amount of sodium. The study revealed that 89% of participants consumed more than double this amount, around 3,096 milligrams.

The investigation relied on data from 3,170 participants in another study by the Center for Disease Control. The sample included men and women over 20 years old and diagnosed with a cardiovascular disease.
