    I know you're supposed to consume 2500 mg/day or less...but is it really that important?
    I've had 2553mg of sodium today, which isn't too far over.
    I don't have any health conditions, however my blood pressure is a little on the low side (105/60).
    Is sodium intake really that important if you have no health conditions?

    Keep in mind that you are getting a lot more sodium than that if you regularly use your salt shaker too. The figures on mfp represent just the amount of sodium that you are getting from the food you eat (ie before the salt shaker).
