Halite is the scientific name of Sodium chloride (salt). Generally it is used one of the dietary component.
On average, Americans consume around 3,400 milligrams of sodium per day, which is higher than the recommended limit of 2,300 milligrams per day for healthy adults. Excessive sodium intake is associated with high blood pressure and other health issues.
It depends on your dietary needs and restrictions. For some people, 110 mg of sodium might be a low amount, while for others it could be considered high. The recommended daily intake of sodium is typically around 1500-2300 mg per day.
Boiling a hot dog can reduce sodium content slightly, as some of the sodium may leach out into the water. However, the reduction may be minimal compared to other cooking methods. It's still important to consider portion size and overall dietary sodium intake.
Here are the cold, hard facts. The body requires only 500 milligrams of sodium each day. The American Heart Association recommends no more than 2,400 milligrams of sodium per day, but most of us take in more than 4,000 milligrams every day. The Adequate Intake (AI) for sodium is 1,500 milligrams daily for males and females ages 9-50. This equals about 3/4 teaspoon of table salt per day. The maximum recommended level of sodium intake is 2,300 milligrams daily. However, people with hypertension, people who are over the age of 51, or who are African American, should consume no more than 1,500 milligrams of sodium per day. This recommendation includes over half of all Americans. On average, more than 85% of American men and women consume sodium in amounts that far exceed the maximum recommended level of intake. The standard American diet contains between 4000 and 5000 mg of sodium per day. According to the Royal Society of Chemistry, 10 gm is the current average adult intake (10-12g).
Sodium
The recommended daily intake of salt varies by individual needs and dietary guidelines, but generally, the American Heart Association suggests limiting sodium intake to about 2,300 milligrams per day, ideally reducing it to 1,500 milligrams for optimal heart health. Celtic sea salt, which contains trace minerals, should not significantly exceed these sodium limits. It's important to consider all dietary sources of sodium, not just added salt, when determining daily intake. Always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized recommendations.
Any dietary recommendations would depend entirely upon both the cause and the severity of the heart disease. Here are some tips for a heart-healthy diet: - Eat more whole grains, fruits and vegetables - Limit high cholesterol, high sodium and high fat foods - Control your portions

By adopting the recommendations in the Dietary Guidelines, Americans can live healthier lives and contribute to a lowering of health-care costs, helping to strengthen America's long-term economic competitiveness and overall productivity.USDA and HHS have conducted this latest review of the scientific literature, and have developed and issued the 7th edition of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans in a joint effort that is mandated by Congress. The Guidelines form the basis of nutrition education programs, Federal nutrition assistance programs such as school meals programs and Meals on Wheels programs for seniors, and dietary advice provided by health professionals.The Dietary Guidelines, based on the most sound scientific information, provide authoritative advice for people 2 years and older about how proper dietary habits can promote health and reduce risk for major chronic diseases.The Dietary Guidelines aid policymakers in designing and implementing nutrition-related programs.

Sodium itself is an element, not a compound. If you are talking about dietary sodium, the most common source that to get that from is the compound sodium chloride (salt).
If you had read your online health lesson, maybe you would know the answer.(Eat Whole Foods, and Less Sodium.)
It depends on many factors, but to keep it simple:The minimum required intake for an average human is 500 mg sodium per dayThe U.S. RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance) is 1500 mg sodium per dayThe U.S. UL (Tolerable Upper Intake Level) is 2300 mg sodium per daySadly, many Americans who consume the standard American diet often exceed that upper limit quite considerably.
Eat more fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Reduce consumption of refined sugars, flour and saturated fats. Eliminate hydrogenated and interesterified fats from your diet. Keep dietary cholesterol and sodium within daily recommendations.
