Reading Sodium on Food Labels for Heart Health - home blood pressure education

Food labels can help people follow a sodium target recommended by a healthcare professional.

Why it matters

Compare serving size, sodium per serving, and how many servings you actually eat.

A practical routine

  1. Check similar products side by side.
  2. Include sauces and packaged foods.
  3. Follow the plan made for your needs.

Make the record useful

Use a correctly fitted upper-arm cuff, sit quietly with supported posture, and record paired readings when recommended. Add short context notes when needed.
