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.
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.
