We need to be aware of how much salt we’re taking in daily to ensure that we stay near a healthy level.
However, a “healthy level” for salt intake has become a controversial subject. The FDA states we should keep our salt intake levels under 2400 mg a day while the World Health Organization states an unbelievably high 6,000 mg a day! The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends about 1200-1500 mg is best if you are over the age of 50. Who’s right?
