Problem
Low salt diet
Other Names:
Reduced sodium intake Nature:
A low sodium diet is a diet that includes no more than 1,500 to 2,400 mg of sodium per day.
The human minimum requirement for sodium in the diet is about 500 mg per day, which is typically less than one-sixth as much as many diets "seasoned to taste". For certain people with salt-sensitive blood pressure or diseases such as Ménière's disease, this extra intake may cause a negative effect on health.
