I don't understand. AAA=>AAB but AAZ=>ABA. How do you decide which letters to increment? You said increment the second letters, so I take it you mean all but the first one? Shouldn't it be AAA=>ABB if you increment all but the first letter by one? â Raoul Duke Aug 25 '10 at 15:01
We're safe with sodium . But Alderman holds a very different view, contending that the amount of sodium Americans are getting each day isn't dangerous. Rather, he thinks the amount of sodium that should be considered too much is much higher: 5,000 mg. In addition, Alderman said there is a range of sodium intake that should be considered safe: from 2,500 mg to 5,000 mg. With a daily intake of lower than 2,500 mg of sodium, cardiovascular risk goes up, he argued.
The American Heart Association recommends 1,500 mg of sodium a day for all Americans for ideal heart health. On average, kids ages 2-19 eat more than 3,100 mg sodium per day, about double the amount the American Heart Association recommends. The older children get, the more calories and sodium they tend to eat. In the 2-19 year-old age group for boys and girls, boys ages 12-19 eat the most sodium â an average of 4,220 mg/day. Girls in the 12-19 year-old age group eat about 2,950 mg/day.
