The United States dietary guidelines, based on the 2005 Institute of Medicine report, recommend that the general population aim for sodium levels of 1,500 to 2,300 milligrams a day because those levels will not raise blood pressure.
One of the symptoms of the plague was coughing and sneezing, and it is believed that Pope Gregory VII suggested saying âGod bless youâ after a person sneezed in hopes that this prayer would protect them from an otherwise certain death. The expression may have also originated from superstition.
According to the Islam religion, when someone sneezed, he should say All Praises to God and in response the people would reply May God Bless You. Another explanation is that when people sneezed it was believed that the heart would miss a beat; in that microsecond, the skip would allow the devil to enter the body.
