The American Heart association says most people should have less that 1,500 mg but others say it’s too low,
healthline.com/nutrition/sodium-per-day
According to Dangers of Underconsumption,
people who consumed less than 3,000 mg (3 grams) of sodium per day were more likely to have heart disease or die compared to people who consumed 4,000–5,000 mg (4–5 grams).

So what’s really going on?

standing at my podium im tryina watch my sodium

No one really knows. American scientists always want to pretend they have an understanding of everything and set a precedent for everyone else

these pretzels are making me thirsty

Dangers of Underconsumption

Look, stats don’t lie. Heart disease been 🛗 since we’ve had massive sodium increases in our diets (amongst other things)

That wasn’t a problem back when salt was still white gold

Also your body doesn’t lie. Closely listen to your physical feelings after and during eating. It sounds esoteric but I find my body accurately tells me whn I’m doing good or on bullshit.

Saw some research recently showing how increasing your potassium intake can offset an increased sodium intake. I haven’t looked a ton into it, but it makes sense physiologically and is pretty interesting imo

some innocent pretzels triggered my kidney stones, never again

Moderation is key

I got kidney stones too, nuts

The New England journal of medicine (probably the most influential / impactful medical journal) recently put out a review article on this:

nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMra2030212?query=featured_home

I haven’t had a chance to fully read it yet, but it’s certainly interesting

I’m scared I might not know what it’s saying nowadays

keep a diet with some special teas (I believe it's horsetail and cherry tail) for like 1 week and drink a lot of those, it will disolve the stones (if they are not too big)

U might have to change ur eating habits and then you’ll be able to be more in touch forsure. Try it out tho. Worked wonders for me. Just slowing down when I eat.

thanks for the advice

I did notice stimulants were giving me heavy anxiety as of late, even more than before, so I cut out all stimulants and it helped more so maybe I can recognize them

Dam this fool used to be addyd up tryna watch his sodium

It’s progress

Not even the worst thing I’ve done to my body
I think taking 4 gas station s***pills with a Four Loko gets that title

Asians eat 6-10 grams a day so it can’t be that bad

really spent my teenage years eating Jack in the box, taco bell, takis, sour patch kids, slurpin gatorade and cream soda all day

Just drink a sh*tton of water

I SAID
