The Skinny on Sodium

There is a lot of talk these days about how much salt you need in your diet.  How much is enough?  How much is too much? 

Every day, healthy, physically active people lose nutrients and minerals, including sodium, which are needed to ensure muscles are functioning properly.  Meat inherently contains sodium.  Meat snacks, such as jerky, also contain sodium – as do many other foods such as such as cheese, milk, yogurt, some fish, soups, salad dressings, pasta sauces, frozen meals, cookies, crackers, chips, some nuts and seeds, as well as canned and pickled foods.

In the U.S., the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) for sodium is 2,400 milligrams per day. The American Heart Association recommends 3,000 milligrams of sodium per day and in 2008, while the National Research Counsel states that sodium intake can be as high as 3,300 milligrams per day. 

Essential minerals, including sodium, can be replaced by choosing a better-for-you snack like Jack Link’s Jerky.  In fact, one satisfying 50-calorie serving of Jack Link’s Jerky contains approximately 380 milligrams of sodium.  Plus, Jack Link’s Jerky is an excellent source of protein, is naturally low in calories, fat and carbs, and is trans-fat free.  No empty calories here.

From cookies and crackers, to chips and cheese, when choosing your snacks, remember that Jack Link’s is a better-for-you snacking choice when considering recommended daily allowances. 

Jack Link’s Jerky – finally, a snacking choice that you can feel good about.
