That depends on who you are. Generally, adults are not supposed to exceed 2300 milligrams per day, but that recommendation may be lowered by your doctor if you have high blood pressure or for any other reason. Avoiding highly processed foods will help you lower sodium intake.

dehydration. And if the kidneys are normally functioning, large sodium amount in the urine. Sodium levels are managed principally by the kidney. Sodium is not lost through skin sweat, that salty taste is potassium chloride. Excessive sodium will stress the kidneys if prolonged. Humans can take in adequete sodium in the diet without adding table salt. Arteries can be hardended by heavy sodium intake.
