Well, our bodies don't really need a lot but the recommended is less than 500 milligrams.

Wow, I'm taking in way to much. Some days I take in over 2000mg. I need to start paying more attention.

I don't count the sodium, but I know I need to! I swell up with too much and gain weight!

My legs swell bad, I'm going to watch my sodium over the next few days and see if there are any changes in the swelling.

My sodium intake really only jumps above 1000 if I'm eating packaged foods. I find keeping saturated fat down, protein up way more of a problem

i try to do without sodium as much as possible (i rinse my veggies if i open a can) and i dont cook with it

i figue hub can add whatever he wants...each dr and nutritionist will offer different amounts to each person so i guess it just depends. all i know is, the most i consume, my ankles swell into logs (and i aint even log rolling)
