our body's need for salt?

Hey everybody

I have this friend who is always telling me that we have this great need for sodium or salt in our diets and that I may not be getting enough. Does anyone know a) what our body’s requirement for sodium is? b) what raw foods have naturally occurring sodium?

Thanks!! Janelle

    you need roughly somewhere in between (very rough, everyones body is different) 500-600 mg/day in order to maintain an appropriate electrolyte balance. you should be able to JUST get that if you don’t supplement with sea salt or what-not.
