CDC recommends everyone limit sodium intake to below 2,300 mg per day and that everyone should also get at least 4,700 mg of potassium a day to help balance their levels of sodium and potassium in the body. However, according to the Harvard School of Public Health, up to 70 percent of Americans belong to a high-risk group that needs to cut sodium intake even more. These groups include people over 40, African-Americans, people with hypertension or pre-hypertension and people with diabetes. Anyone in these categories should limit sodium intake to 1,500 milligrams per day. Even people who are not in these groups can benefit from limiting sodium intake to 1,500 milligrams a day, and there are no negative health consequences for doing so.

三酸甘油酯 Triglyceride
在人體內高三酸甘油酯含量與動脈硬化有關，加上高血壓會提高冠狀動脈性心臟病與中風的可能性。
有人建議通過帶氧運動和低醣類的食物來降低三酸甘油酯指數。
