People are different and need different things, and medical "experts" have different opinions on these matters.
Our body needs only a small amount of sodium. We should get about 1,500 milligrams of it every day. But the average American takes in about 3,400.

WebMD is NOT your doctor!
There are a lot of reasons that these numbers can be wrong.
Are you and athlete, or someone who works outside in the heat with heavy activity?
Your body can use a lot more salts
Are you on a low carb diet in ketogenesis?
Your body requires a lot more electrolytes.
Thank you.
These one-size-fits-all prognoses are just stupid. And I think different bodies process salt differently.

It’s comical. A 96 year old, 80lbs sedentary woman needs 1500mg.
I am 6’2” 215 lift twice a week, two volleyball leagues, and train for sprinting.
I require 1500 mg per advice…
How many milligrams were the salt pills the medics passed out every morning before jungle patrols in the 60's? May explain my salt cravings 50+ years later.
