10. Dairy Products
It is a fact that dairy is the main calcium and vitamin D source, but some of its products can contain high sodium content. Examples are buttermilk, cottage cheese, and processed cheeses. The latter one can have about 400 mg of sodium per ounce. An example of low-sodium cheese is the mozzarella having only 175 mg of sodium per ounce or Swiss cheese with a meager 60 mg per ounce.

Sodium is an essential nutrient in the body and it has a big role especially in maintaining the balance of body fluids. However, too much of it can have adverse effect to your health. To stay healthy, be sure to consume in moderation foods that have high salt content or better yet, choose healthier and low-sodium content alternatives.
