It helps regulate fluid levels, nerve health, muscle contraction, and the normal balance of minerals and water. You can find sodium naturally in all sorts of foods, from artichokes to eggs, dairy, and meat. Their sodium content varies widely. Your healthcare provider may suggest you include more<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> low-sodium snacks<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if you have hypertension, an increased risk of heart disease, or kidney problems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, doctors can also recommend you reduce your salt intake if you have edema or a high risk of osteoporosis. This is because too much salt can weaken the bones. It can cause calcium loss, which could lead to lower bone mineral density. (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4880174\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The problem is that an average person eats around 3,400 mg of salt every day, but the recommended intake for adults is less than 2,300 mg a day. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low-sodium, low-carb snacks<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can satisfy the cravings between meals and supply the body with nutrients. They\u2019re naturally low in sodium and often rich in potassium, magnesium, or calcium.

However, whenever you choose a snack, you must think about the serving size. Many companies are making their serving sizes very small in order to claim they are low in sodium.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, the serving size may be 10 chips, but no one really eats just 10 chips and will consume many more to satisfy their craving. So this low-sodium snack then becomes a high-sodium food very quickly. What you need is a filling snack that is teeming with nutrients, vitamins, and minerals.

When you make it at home, you can control the ingredients. Try seasoning your popcorn with parmesan cheese, paprika, or garlic powder. If you want a more plain taste, you can enjoy air-popped popcorn.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nut_Butter_on_Low-Carb_Whole-Grain_Toast\"><\/span><b>Nut Butter on Low-Carb Whole-Grain Toast<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many nut butters such as <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/is-almond-butter-better-than-peanut-butter\/\">peanut butter<\/a>, pecan butter, almond butter, and cashew butter can be great for snacking.

If you\u2019re a healthy person who has eaten a salty meal, your body will take care of the excess sodium on its own. The best thing to do is drink plenty of water, while sweating and urinating naturally help remove sodium. The more intensely you sweat, the quicker you will lose more salt.
