No, a serving has about 29 mg sodium, while that same serving has about 299 mg potassium. (Potassium is sort of the antagonist to sodium in the human body.)

1 - 2 inches of water each week especially from mid June to mid August. Too little water will not let plant roots grow deep and strong enough to gather nutrients for good growth. Too much water will saturate the soil, not allowing the plant air and space needed to grow. For best results it is important to know how much water your plants are getting. Observe your vegetables, get to know your soil conditions, keep an eye on the weather and learn which plants need more water than others. Is this sounding too complicated? Here is an easy way to measure how much water your garden is getting. Watering Measuring Tip
Place a small can in 4 different areas
of your garden, turn on the overhead
sprinkler for 1 hour and then measure
the amount of water in your cans
Can you feed mystery snails canned spinach?

What diseases or medical problems can be prevented by eating spinach?
Spinach is an excellent vegetable. While it doesn't directly cure or prevent anymore than any other nutritious vegetable, it is high in nutrients that can prevent certain conditions. It's high in folic acid, which prevents spinal bifidia in developing fetuses. Also, folic acid has been showed to reduce the rate of cognitive decline in elderly people. It's a very good source of iron, which prevents anemia. It's very high in antioxidants (the highest of any vegetable, I believe). And, as a part of a healthy diet with a variety of fruits,vegetables, and whole grains, it can reduce the risk of cancers, heart disease, stroke and many others. While no one vegetable can take the place of all others, spinach certainly can be consumed often as a component in a healthy diet.
