“You really shouldn’t avoid salt. Your body depends on it.”

I’ve heard that too. There doesn’t appear to be any science behind the idea of limiting sodium - and what little science there is happens to be in the opposite direction, as in NOT having a lot of salt increases risks of bad things.

There is a V-shaped curve whereby getting under 3,000 mg a day or over 6,000 mg a day raises the likelihood of death.

There are maybe 12% of people who are hypertensive with severe sodium issues, so those people may benefit from less sodium, but for the rest of us, bring it up!

I lose so much so salt working out, that more than makes up for the salt I eat.

I like to drink pickle juice after a workout, it’s amazing how much better I feel right after I drink it.
