Sodium intake

Hi from a newbie,
I am not a fan of SALT, so lean towards sodium-reduced items. After tallying today's food diary, I see that my sodium intake is HALF the recommended amount. My blood pressure is always really good, and I don't want that to change. Should I try to up my daily sodium intake?

    The recommendation for 2300mg is the upper limit that you should try to stay under. Most adults in the US consume too much sodium, not too little.

    The minimum intake recommendation for healthy adults is 500mg per day. As long as you're getting at least that much (and presumably you are... most people do) then don't worry about it.
