Sodium...How much is too much
What exactly does salt, sodium do once it enters the body? I think I understand that it retains water and obviuosly you should refrain from dumping it all over you food....Just wondering how much is enough. In general...Not if you are cuting or building mass.. Just in General
Thanx all

OP
Good question and thread.
May I add?
If we sweat a lot it's OK to add a few more MGS. of sodium, because we:
1. sweat more
2. drink a lot of water (say, minimum 4 liters per day).
OK to increase the sodium intake, correct?Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.

1. How much salt should I eat to maintain normal sodium levels and are the sodium requirements the same for men and women? Most sodium comes from table salt and canned and pre-prepared foods. According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, adult Americans average 4–5 grams (4,000–5,000 mg) of sodium per day. However, you only need about one tenth of that (500 mg) to meet the needs of the body. Total daily sodium intake should not exceed 2400 mg. Here are the U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) for sodium for adults (both men and women), children, and infants:
# Adults: 500mg
# Children: 400 mg
# Infants: 120-200 mgI highly recommend all IronMagLabs supplements!
