(Na) Sodium

Sodium is present in almost all the potable water the companies sell in Monterrey, and we drink the water without thinking that we are drinkin also like 5mg of sodium per bottle (supposing the bottle has a volume of 500ml). Many companies around the world have search for the consequences of this substance, and the results were amazing, the recomended quantity of this substance per day is just about from 1100-3300 milligrams (mg) per day, this is the half of the sodium consumed by a tipical american now at days.

 This is a little dangerous for some people that have healthy problems in blood, heart, etc, because they have to purify the water they drink in order to hydrate theirselves.
This problem han't been stopped because is very expensive for the companies that sell water, separate completely the sodium from the H2O, so they just reduce the concentration of sodium to 5%, wich is kind of the standar nowadays.

This subsrance has not much impact in my daily life today, because I am young and do not have developed healthy problems, but for many other people that do have healthy problems, they may know about this, to prevent other diseases.
