I have recently discovered that we don't need as much sodium as I thought! I read in Loren Cordain's The Paleo Diet Revised that we don't need to consume any added salt, that natural foods contain all we need, that salt started to get mined like 10,000 years ago, and before that our ancestors did just fine, hunting under the African sun, without any added salt. I googled and found that the American Heart Association says we need even less than 500mg a day. And I checked on my cronometer app and I could easily get that just from the foods I eat. So I've been experimenting with a no-added-salt diet (except maybe a bit in my commercially prepared almond milk) for more than a month now, in the Cypriot summer, jogging and sweating under the sun, exercising as usual, drinking loads of water, and I haven't noticed any difference except a certain kind of . . . let's call it less pressure inside my body. This is honestly rather shocking to me! Anw, thought I'd be interesting to mention this under a post about electrolytes!

American Heart Association:
"The body needs only a small amount of sodium (less than 500 milligrams per day)"
