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.
The abundance of processed foods reversed this trend, and most adults now eat too much sodium and not enough potassium. For good health, you should consume less than 2,300 milligrams of sodium a day. The average American consumes approximately 3,400 milligrams. Consuming too much sodium puts you at risk for several health conditions.
