The University of Illinois says "Your body also needs sodium for your muscles to move and nerves to work and function properly. However, you only need a small amount each day – only about 500 mg, which is the amount found in less than ¼ teaspoon of table salt."

The recommended daily intake from the Dietary Guidelines for Americans is 2,300 mg! Whoa. And, we consume more than that ... Many of us have high blood pressure, even kids! Want to cut down and still enjoy your meals?
DW has an important need to and so our combined, home diet reflects that. I just had toast for breakfast and the lingering impression I have is the salt in the bread.
Here are some ways that I limit salt in stir-fry vegetables and DW goes further by often not using some so they are often at-the-table for me.
First of all the Mrs Dash, with zero added salt. Important to me is Maggi sauce. I think that most Americans are not familiar with this one. Do you like soy sauce on some occasions? You might like Maggi more often. Look at your soy sauce and the ingredients may well note wheat. Well, Maggi is wheat with no soy. It tastes much the same as the Kikkoman (sodium 920 mg/
Tablespoon). Maggi has 440 mg per 1 teaspoon. Both add flavor and are significant lower sodium than salt. Made by Nestles and sold worldwide, Maggi.
Add some pronounced flavor with the salt / consume less salt.
