| sodium | Sodium is a silvery-white chemical element which combines with other chemicals. Salt is a sodium compound. The fish or seafood is heavily salted with pure sodium chloride. one level teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate powder | en |
| sodium | Sodium lighting gives out a strong orange light. the orange glow of the sodium streetlamps. a common silver-white metal that usually exists in combination with other substances, for example in salt. It is a chemical element : symbol Na (soda). Chemical element, one of the alkali metals, chemical symbol Na, atomic number | en |
| sodium | A very soft, silvery white metal, the sixth most abundant element on Earth, it occurs mainly as halite, never free. Extremely reactive, it is used as a chemical reagent and raw material, in metallurgy, as a heat exchanger (in nuclear power generators and certain types of engines), and in sodium-vapour lamps (see electric discharge lamp). Sodium is essential for life but rarely deficient in diets; high intake is linked to hypertension. Sodium in compounds, many of great industrial importance (including bicarbonate of soda, caustic soda, sodium nitrate [Chile saltpetre], and sodium chloride), has valence | en |
| sodium | Sodium carbonate, one of the four most important basic chemical commodities, is used in making glass, detergents, and cleansers. Sodium hypochlorite, familiar as household bleach, is also used to bleach paper pulp and textiles, to chlorinate water, and in some medicines. The sulfate is used in the kraft process and also used to make paperboard, glass, and detergents. The thiosulfate (hyposulfite, or "hypo") is used to developed photographs | en |
| sodium | An ion found in natural water supplies, and introduced to water in the ion exchange water softening process Sodium compounds are highly soluble, and do not react with soaps or detergents The effects of Sodium are not clearly understood A high sodium intake can effect your blood pressure and cause stress The EPA has set a maximum contaminant level of 20 ppm for people who have a sodium restricted diet | en |
| sodium | What it's good for: Regulates and balances the amount of fluids outside the cells in the body Aids in muscle contractions and nerve function Where you get it: Processed foods and table salt DRI or RDA: None | en |
| sodium | A mineral found in most of the foods we eat The largest source of dietary sodium comes from sodium chloride or table salt Intake of sodium tends to increase the retention of water | en |
| sodium | An ion found in water that has little or no chemical effect on beer, although it can create unpleasant flavors | en |

| sodium | One of many salts found in soil | en |
| sodium | An essential mineral that our bodies regulate and conserve Excess sodium retention increases the fluid volume (edema) and low sodium leads to less fluid and relative dehydration The adult body averages a total content of over 100 grams of sodium, of which a surprising one-third is in bone A small amount of sodium does get into cell interiors, but this represents only about ten percent of the body content The remaining 57 percent or so of the body sodium content is in the fluid immediately surrounding the cells, where it is the major cation (positive ion) The role of sodium in the extracellular fluid is maintaining osmotic equilibrium (the proper difference in ions dissolved in the fluids inside and outside the cell) and extracellular fluid volume Sodium is also involved in nerve impulse transmission, muscle tone and nutrient transport All of these functions are interrelated with potassium | en |
| sodium | The American Heart Association suggests reducing sodium intake to approximately 1,000 mg per 1,000 calories, not to exceed 3,000 mg total The human requirement for sodium is only about 200 or 250 mg per day, but most Americans consume 4,000 to 5,000 mg of sodium per day Populations who consume lower levels of sodium than Americans have a lower incidence of high blood pressure Approximately 20% of persons with high blood pressure could sizably reduce their blood pressures by limiting their sodium consumption | en |
