    healthyeatingclub.com/ Sodium is a part of everyone's diet, but how much is too much? Under ideal conditions, the minimum sodium requirement is about 1,500 milligrams (mg) of sodium each day. This is less than 1 teaspoon of table salt. The maximum recommended level of sodium intake is 2,300 mg per day. On average, American men consume between 3,100 and 4,700 mg of sodium per day, while women consume between 2,300 and 3,100 mg (due to their lower calorie intake, not because of restricting sodium). http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/foodnut/09354.html .ext.colostate.h Colorado State University Extension

    The American Heart Association recommends that adults who are healthy take in no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium a day. My doctor also told me that an individual would get by fine with a minimum of 250 - 500 mg per day. The lower you can keep it the better!
