Question

what is the medical meaning for 2G Na+

Answer 1

Sodium is a mineral that helps balance fluids in your body. It’s found in almost all foods.

2-gram sodium diet. This diet, will limit the total amount of sodium you eat or drink to 2 grams, or 2,000 milligrams (mg), daily. One teaspoon of salt contains 2,300 mg of sodium, so you will need to take in less than this amount per day.

This diet can be used to manage:

• Heart disease
• High blood pressure
• Kidney disease
• Poor liver function
• Weight gain from water retention (pedal edema)

(On a nutrition label, the sodium content is always listed in milligrams for 1 serving. If you eat or drink 2 servings, you’re getting double the amount of sodium. This means that you will have to multiply the amount of sodium per serving by 2.)
