No goals here. If the food needs salt, I salt it.

I have heart condition also, but one that actually requires me to limit sodium. However, when first starting LC, I did have to increase my sodium intake, and I find from time to time when I sweat a lot, I can increase it.

I am very sensitive to sodium and it can cause pretty severe edema for me and also shortness of breath due to dilated cardiomyopathy, which ultimately can lead to complete congestive heart failure.

I am much better than I was 16 years ago, so no imminent danger, but I do have to be cognizant of how much I put into my body sodium-wise.

Most LCHFers should be able to eat the daily recommended or much higher with no issues, esp. when first adapting.

An alternative view of the effects
of sodium/salt restriction is online:
'Salt, energy, metabolic rate, and longevity',
by Ray Peat, PhD Biol, specializing in
Physiology.

In a comment that resonates an
all too familiar reality:
'Despite numerous publications showing
that diuretics could cause the edematous
problems that they were supposed to
remedy, they have been one of the most
profitable types of drug.

'Dietary salt restriction has become a
cultural cliché, largely as a consequence
of the belief that sodium causes edema
and hypertension.'

There's more: the thermogenic
effects of protein, salt, thyroid, and
progesterone;

The relationship of estrogen to loss
of sodium;

Insomnia as a consequence of salt
restriction;

Reduced flexibility of blood vessels;

Sodium as protection against inflammation;

The use of hypertonic sodium to restore
cellular energy production and
accelerate wound healing;

Improved immunity;

Decreases in body fat, including abdominal
fat;

All these are addressed and referenced.
Everyone is different, so YMMV.

'...In a recently released document titled "Approaches to Reducing Sodium Consumption,"... the FDA and the Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) cite recommendations to reduce daily sodium intake to less than 2,300 mg, with a further reduction to 1,500 mg (just over one-half teaspoon) for people who are age 51 and older, African American, or who have hypertension, diabetes or chronic kidney disease (this encompasses about half of the U.S. population)...'

I stopped tracking sodium. I salt pretty much everything to taste, and don't measure the salt or log it. I use both Morton's Lite Salt (salt, potassium, iodized) and a sea salt grinder (not iodized). Heck, I salt salads, especially with caesar dressing. Kicks it up.
