RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Ever look/feel bloated? Limit sodium intake to 1200mg/day. Track what you eat/drink for one day, you'll be surprised how quickly you pass 1200. Over-consuming sodium not only leads to having high blood pressure, but sodium carries water in the body causing looking/feeling bloated. Eating high potassium foods (dried apricots, spinach, beans, prunes, carrots) also lowers sodium levels in the body.
