The right option is; C)Lower her sodium intake

Heart diseases are various conditions that affect the heart. Heart diseases include heart rhythm problems, blood vessel diseases, and heart defects. Sodium is an essential nutrient for the body and it plays important roles in regulating fluid balance, and nerve impulse transmission. Higher levels of sodium in the body are normally associated with heart diseases such as hypertension. The normal blood sodium range is between 135 and 145 mEq/L.
