So its says that 2500 mg is a good amount of sodium in the day.
But ....
I am feeling that is still a little bit much! can I get some opinions on this?

Mine is set to half that as the recommendation from Health Canada states that it should be closer to 1500 for an adult. 2500 is off the charts and I do not consider it in any way healthy to have that much.It is estimated that Canadians one year of age and older eat an average of about 3400 mg/day of sodium. This is more than twice the recommended AI of 1500 mg/day for individuals from 9 to 70 years, and 50% more than the UL for adults of 2300 mg/day. Actual sodium consumption is likely to be even higher because people tend to underestimate how much they eat on self-reported food intake surveys such as those on which this estimate was based.0

If I eat that much sodium, I swell up like a balloon. I try to stay around 1000-1500.0
