Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The American Heart Association recommends decreasing sodium intake to less than 2,300 milligrams per day, or even less if you have high blood pressure or certain other conditions. Most Americans consume more sodium than this recommendation. On the other hand, potassium is important for heart health and most Americans do not consume enough potassium-rich foods. Therefore, increasing potassium intake through consuming more fruits and vegetables is recommended.
