Daily Sodium Guidelines:

  • American Heart Association: No more than 2,300 mg per day, ideally limiting to 1,500 mg for most adults
  • WHO: Less than 2,000 mg of sodium per day (equivalent to 5 g of salt)
  • Health Canada: 1,500 mg to 2,300 mg of sodium per day

People with certain medical conditions like hypertension, heart failure, or kidney disease may need to further restrict their sodium intake. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
