Sodium in Drinking Water and Arizona Domestic Wells

Table salt (sodium chloride) has been used to preserve and season food since ancient times. We need sodium to regulate our body’s water balance and muscle function. However, studies have shown that too much sodium intake may be bad for your heart health and is linked with high blood pressure. High levels of total dissolved solids (TDS), which include sodium, are common in Arizona’s water resources. Therefore, we should be aware of our sodium consumption from foods and drinking water sources. Sodium in drinking water may be significant in your diet. But this depends on the amount of sodium in the water, how much you drink daily, and if you are on a sodium restricted diet.
