    For a person who strenuously works out with weights and does cardio a few times a week, I don't see the problem with a few grams daily.

    it depends on body weight, level of activity, etc. but the average person can easily consume 3-4 grams of sodium daily with no adverse effects with a sufficient water intake
    I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

    no problem with excess sodium unless you suffer from high blood pressure and/or hypertension.

    As long as your water intake is good, sodium shouldn't be an issue.

    Levels of a few grams will not matter to the average healthy individual. And for those doing a lot of cardio or those cutting, they need/can actually benefit from having a slightly higher sodium contents in their diet too...
