A member asked:
What is right balance of sodium i should have per day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Family practice : A 2 gram sodium diet is considered a low salt diet. It's recommended for heart pts and other high risk patients with high blood pressure, diabetes, smokers and elevated lipids. If you have renal disease or chronic edema salt intake should also be monitored.
