Sodium is a mineral needed for normal body function, but an excessive intake of it can cause high blood pressure and hypertension. The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that individuals consume less than 2300 mg of sodium per day.
A growing concern is the large sodium content especially in canned foods. Many foods are misleading in their sodium content and it is important that people know about the amounts of sodium they are ingesting.
To determine the sodium content of canned foods, the Horiba LAQUAtwin Na+ meter can be used. This is an easy and quick method used to consider the sodium content of canned products.
The use of the Horiba LAQUAtwin Na+ meter to measure the sodium content of canned food products will improve consumers’ knowledge of their sodium intake. This will thus help to combat the increasing issues of high blood pressure and hypertension.
The LAQUAtwin pH meter is small and compact; convenient to carry around the marketplace for easy on-site testing. Its easy-to-use interface is simple for anyone to use the LAQUAtwin hand held pH meter.
