According to the latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans, adults should consume less than 2,300mg (approximately 1 teaspoon of salt) of sodium per day. For people with chronic diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes, or kidney disease, as well as older adults and African Americans, the recommended daily limit is 1,500mg, or roughly half a teaspoon of salt.
Note that added salt comes in many forms and may be listed on nutrition labels as monosodium glutamate (MSG), sodium nitrate, sodium nitrite, sodium saccharin, baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), and sodium benzoate.
Sodium chloride, or table salt, is approximately 40 percent sodium. Understand just how much sodium is in salt so you can take measures to control your intake.
1/4 teaspoon salt = 600mg sodium 1/2 teaspoon salt = 1,200mg sodium
3/4 teaspoon salt = 1,800mg sodium 1 teaspoon salt = 2,300mg sodium
