No more contingencies = âsale pendingâ. A deal thatâs truly pending is one in which the buyers have removed all contingencies. The buyer is âlocked inâ to buying the home. The final step is to move toward closing, which can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.
Upper Limit. The âDietary Guidelines for Americans 2010â addresses sodium intake in detail. The average daily sodium intake for Americans is 3,400 milligrams per day, an excessive amount that raises blood pressure and poses health risks. In general, Americans should limit daily sodium consumption to 2,300 milligrams, but this is an upper safe limit, not a recommended daily allowance.
Did you know that on average, Americans eat more than 3,400 milligrams of sodium each day â much more than the American Heart Association and other health organizations recommend? Most of us are likely underestimating how much sodium we eat, if we can estimate it at all. The association surveyed 1,000 adults and found that one-third couldnât estimate how much sodium they ate, and another 54 percent thought they were eating less than 2,000 mg sodium a day. Keeping sodium in check is part of the overall heart-healthy eating pattern that the American Heart Association recommends.
