Ya but... Very low salt also means poor Hydrochloric Acid in stomach = poor digestion/nutrition.
DASH works for some body/metabolism types. Should not be considered a one-size-fits all plan. Way too high in grains for many types. Paleo/anti-inflammatory diet is a strong alternative.
Low carb will lose weight. Heart will be happier.

“Recent Research Reveals a Simple Trick To Lower Heart Disease Risk”
More tax payer research that discovered something obvious?
Your doctor should be checking your sodium level as part of your yearly check up.
Mine always runs very low and last doctor I had advised me to eat more salt.
My husband drily stated that unless I started eating it right out of the shaker that was going to be impossible.
What KIND of salt matters...Himalayan or Morton’s crap?

Quit listening to government, government-backed studies, and news? That’ll help considerably.
I hardly ever touch the salt shaker. Just a small dash on steaks, fried eggs and sometimes on salads, that’s about it.
I used the My Fitness Pal food & calorie tracker most of this year and was averaging a total sodium intake of about 2,000 mg. I was very happy with that finding. Almost all of my salt came from prepared foods.
The American Heart Association recommends no more than 2,300 mg a day and ideally 1,500 mg per day for most adults. On average, Americans ingest more than 3,400 mg of sodium each day.
Too little salt is more dangerous than too high salt https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/05/080515171020.htm
Didn’t the Framingham Study reveal this decades ago?

It looks like they made a simple correlation and came to a conclusion based on that. I’d hope they had a better study than that.
So I don't go out of my way to limit salt - nor do I add
it to foods very often. I figure that I get enough, but not
too much either.
One of these Morton canisters will last me two or three years -
Don’t get the jab... That’s probably #1.
No Cheetos? take me now . .
Yet another garbage study (one of many faults as reported).
Never mind.
I thought this was common knowledge back in the ‘50s. Too much salt is bad for you.
We haven’t bought salt in probably 10 years. Prepared food sometimes just screams, “Too much salt!”. Ditto for sugar.
This is the most ridiculous study I’ve ever seen. I add salt to everything I eat- my oatmeal, my eggs, my meat, and my veggies, but the salt I apply is the only salt those items get. My parents never add salt to their food- but all their food is processed or from restaurants so not low salt in the slightest. And then you have people like my dear grandpa, who would have still called for the salt shaker if you put a lick in front of him.
