Healthy Attributes

Why should I choose sodium-free products such as True North Pure Natural Spring Water? 

Studies have shown that a diet high in sodium can lead to high blood pressure, which can lead to stroke, heart attack, heart failure or kidney failure. Heart and stoke associations in North America recommend that healthy adults choose sodium-free and low-sodium products and eat no more than 2300mg of salt per day.
