In this final article, I will describe the types of salt I recommend, and how much salt is ideal for most people. How much, and what kind of salt to include in the diet. According to research, there exists a range of sodium intake that likely confers the best health outcomes for most people. As I explained in part 3, findings from a 2011 study demonstrate the lowest risk of death for sodium excretion between 4000 and 5990 milligrams per day.
That is equivalent to about 1 tsp. of salt a day. According to the Institute of Medicine, the maximum daily intake for sodium are the following: ages 1 to 3, 1,500 mg; ages 4 to 8, 1,900 mg; ages 9 to 13, 2,200 mg, and ages 14 to 18, 2,300 mg.People who are sensitive to sodium should only consume 1,500 mg of sodium per day.owever, too much sodium in your diet can result in high blood pressure and other health problems. The Recommended Dietary Allowance, or RDA, for sodium is the average intake level of what you should be getting from your diet daily.
