Sodium can be a killer

Have you ever looked at the labels when out grocery shopping or at the food you have already purchased and are feeding your family? I learned today that just by lower sodium contents in food that currently line grocery store shelves, we could save the lives of 150,000 people per year! Everyone needs to watch their sodium intake. The more sodium you eat, the harder you heart has to work. Your body only needs 500 mg per day, unless you are out doing marathons! Try and make a conscious awareness about how much you are consuming in a day and you'll be surprised! Check out the labels and stay away from the high sodium stuff! You'll do your heart good!

Live!

Ok...I haven't been on my blog for quite some time. I've been very busy with work and just life in general. I just want to encourage anyone out there living with heart failure or heart disease of any kind......you can live, and live well. Take it one day at a time! That's all any of us can do anyway. I just want to say.....I have heart failure, heart failure doesn't have me!
