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.
If you are a healthy adult, your daily recommended sodium intake should be 2,300 milligrams per day, according to the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute. However, if you have a chronic condition, such as hypertension, kidney disease or diabetes, you should consume less sodium per day -- 1,500 milligrams per day.
