Batteries are not only essential for powering our devices, but also for storing renewable energy. But most batteries rely on scarce and expensive materials like lithium and cobalt. A new technology could change that: sodium-ion batteries. These batteries use abundant and cheap sodium, and have similar performance and safety as lithium-ion batteries. #batteries #sodium #energy https://cosmosmagazine.com/technology/energy/sodium-ion-batteries/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes

Watch out for the #sodium content on Sausage #burgers. They have about 35% of your daily value before the cheese. I found some that claim to have about 15%, but their serving size was half of a burger. #IndependenceDay

Flirting with #hypertension and trying to limit my #sodium intake so, as I'm grocery shopping, I'm looking for "low sodium" versions of what I usually buy. This has led to some startling revelations.

"Lower sodium! 30% lower than our original!"

It's still 350mg per 1/2 cup serving though... Wait, how much salt have I been eating this whole time?! Good grief.

Starting to think processed/packaged foods are a deathtrap, man. About to go oldschool and just scratch-cook every single thing I eat.

Any other #Tovala meal subscribers out there? Pho warning: I made the mistake of ordering the Pho-inspired Chicken Soup last week. [I'm sorry—I couldn't resist the pun.] It was delicious, but I felt awful afterward. So I looked up the #nutrition information. The soup had 3380mg of #sodium! That's half again more than you're supposed to have in a whole day...and this was in one serving. I'm not overly sensitive to sodium, but jeez—I felt this.

#BYD will set up a joint venture with a local conglomerate to build a #sodium-ion battery production base, the first time we've seen it move forward in building capacity for this alternative to lithium #batteries.

According to a new report, sodium-ion batteries are shaping up to be a big technology breakthrough. The report by the International Energy Agency says that sodium-ion batteries could offer a cheaper and more sustainable alternative to lithium-ion batteries for energy storage. Sodium-ion batteries use abundant and low-cost materials, have high energy density and long cycle life, and are safer and more recyclable.

I notice here that the "adequate intake" of sodium is listed as 1500 mg / day.

https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/food-nutrition/healthy-eating/dietary-reference-intakes/tables/reference-values-elements-dietary-reference-intakes-tables-2005.html

But I found this site which states,
"In ancient times, prior to access to external sources of salt (i.e., salt mines), the level of daily average salt intake was low, approximately 0.1–1.0 g/day (0.04–0.4 g sodium/day)"

That's 40 to 400 mg of sodium, which is a helluva lot less than 1500. I'm convinced we're being fed a lot of BS about sodium.

Swapping table salt for a potassium alternative cuts blood pressure | New Scientist

I'm a diabetic with high blood pressure. I also used to be a big salt eater, but lately I've been cutting that down. And now, I've decided to try and and cut it down further. So, I plan to not eat at restaurants, and only eat eat home cooked veggies and grains (no breads or prepared foods) without adding salt.

I'm somewhat inspired by these two sites I encountered:

1.) https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00467-019-04387-4
