Many people eating a mostly whole-foods diet get adequate potassium, but not sodium.โฃ

You should be making an effort to salt your food and get about 1โ€“2 tsp of salt (sodium chloride) per day because sodium is important for:โฃ

โฃ

  • Nerve and muscle functionโฃ


  • Nutrient absorptionโฃ


  • Stomach acid production (chloride)โฃ


  • Insulin sensitivityโฃ


  • Fluid balanceโฃ



Sodium also interacts with our immune and hormonal systems to balance histamine and help reduce allergies, as well as balance catecholamines and reduce cortisol and support thyroid function.โฃ

โฃ

So, if you are eating a mostly whole-foods diet, and want to optimize health, please add some salt! โฃ

There will never be a blanket recommendation that will be applicable for all humans.
