"Balancing Salt Intake for Better Health: Tips for Reducing Sodium and Avoiding Hypertension"
The recommended daily salt intake for healthy adults is 2,300 milligrams, with an ideal limit of 1,500 milligrams, but the average American consumes about 3,500 milligrams, mostly from processed foods. Too much salt can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and other health issues. While some people may need to reduce their salt intake, others, such as those with certain health conditions or high-performance athletes, may require more salt. It's important to consult with a doctor to determine the appropriate salt intake for individual health needs.
