Sodium intake.

[general31]

I am wondering how sodium intake effects your BP. When I am cycling my BP tends to go up(maybe too much) and I wonder if I should be watching my sodium intake. I work construction and I travel a lot so I tend to eat a lot of packaged rice, canned chicken, and already cooked meats that all seem to be high in sodium. Should I be watching my sodium intake while on so I do not get into the danger zone with my BP? If so what is a decent figure to shoot for in my daily sodium intake?

Yes, having too much sodium, and/or not enough potassium...
