2 GRAM SODIUM DIET (2000 milligrams (mg))

What is a 2 gram sodium diet? A 2 gram sodium diet limits foods in your diet that are high in sodium. Added table salt is not allowed at meals or in recipes on this diet. The amount of milk is also limited because of the amount of sodium it contains. A high amount of sodium in your diet can make your blood pressure go up as well as cause other health problems. The goal of a 2 gram sodium diet is to prevent or lower high blood pressure; this diet can also keep your body from holding extra fluid. Preventing problems with your liver and kidneys is another reason to follow this diet.
