Good tips on having a low salt diet! Yes salt in necessary for good health, but most people eating a western diet would eat far more than what is needed. Restaurant foods and processed foods are very high in salt.
It is recommended by the CDC (Center of Disease Control) that people consume only 1,500mg of sodium daily if; you have high blood pressure, are African American, and aged middle-aged and older. That's about 70% of the population! :)

The CDC estimated that the average amount of salt consumed day is 3,436mg a day! So, as you said all in moderation.
