Day 7
While making some steady progress in terms of my stomachache, I had a minor epiphany- while I've been monitoring my food, the main things I've looked at were the Calories, carbohydrates and fat. That came to bite me in the butt after I finished entering my food into the diary. I got a big red 1,029 flash on my screen under sodium. Up until then, I had never once in my life look at the sodium content in any of the foods I eat. Having a high sodium diet is actually very detrimental to my health. This is the Centers for Disease Control's website with an article about high sodium diets and their health risks. Mainly, high levels of sodium can cause heart disease and high blood pressure. To make matters worse, I also went over my sugar intake as well, by 23 grams. That's sorta depressing...
Here's my food log- be sure to look at the sodium and sugar columns (In red, the 1st and 3rd from the right.)
