    Various organizations, including the National Academy of Sciences' Institute of Medicine, have published recommendations for daily sodium intake. Most recommend between 1,500 and 2,400 milligrams (mg) a day for healthy adults. A lower sodium intake has a more beneficial effect on blood pressure.

    just reading n article on sodium intake.....it says anywhere from 1100 to 3300 mg is healthy..that is a pretty big range....and not too hard to achieve if you stay away from the salt shaker...

    Anything processed will most likely be loaded with added salt.
