Question 2

how many cups of coffee are safe on a low sodium diet?

Coffee: does not have much sodium in it. It has potassium, which is not sodium and helps regulate nerve/muscle tone. There isn't much of a restriction based on the sodium. Often people have limits on how much fluid. Typically about 1 to 2 liters a day and the coffee can be a lot of all the fluid they should take in... so... 300 cc... 1-2 cups if fluid restriction.

Tricky Tick: "Ticks" come and go (I refer here to the nervous kind,not the biting kind),usually due to stress and yes, coffee can make them worse. Sometimes they last for weeks, often with no discernible cause, then go away to haunt someone else.If your tick("spasm")lasts so long it's uncomfortable or unsightly then see a doctor. There are a few ways to deal with them once anything serious (rare) is ruled-out.
