10 High-Sodium Foods to Avoid

Pizza

Studies show that pizza accounts for more than half of the sodium consumed in America. Most of the ingredients used to make pizza, such as processed meat, dough, sauce, and cheese contain high amounts of sodium. A big, 140-gram slice of frozen pizza contains about 765 mb of sodium, or 33% of the RDI. A restaurant- made slice of the same contains about 957 mg of sodium, or 41% of the RDI which is more. If you consume more than one slice daily, you are more likely to develop high blood pressure from eating pizza. It would help to reduce your consumption to only one slice and eat other foods with low-sodium levels, such as leafy green salad.
