What is the minimum amount of *Salt* per day a person can have & what is the max a person can have?

Question

Salt / Sodium ... same same, what is the most a person can have and what is the minimum a person can have is what I'm asking.

If this is based on body weight and what not, and you need my stats to give me an idea of what I'm looking at here:

* Female
* 63 inches tall
* 173.5 pounds
* 25 years of age

No, I know there is a "minimum" due to seeing the Discovery channel and it said if you don't get ANY salt aka sodium your muscles will spas and it's a very bad thing which can lead to your body shutting down! So I know there is a "minimum" what is it?

My insurance ran out under my Mom on my 25th BDay and I don't have money to go see a doctor on some petty matter such as loosing weight or how much salt or whatever. That is why I am asking here on Y!Answers. "Broke by Broke I aint got it" aka I am broke foolz so don't tell me to go see my doctor unless it's really that important, like the Q I posted about my leg lol.

I eat natural sea salt, not table salt. If I do eat table salt (which is rare), it's less then half a teaspoon if that.

Answer 1

Our Bodies Contain a Living Sea

Our bodies contain the same salty liquid as that of the primal sea--a fluid consisting of water and salt. This flows through more than 56,000 miles of waterways and blood vessels, regulating and balancing the functions of our bodies.

To replenish this sea, our bodies need natural salt. While our bodies require only 0.007 ounces of whole, natural salt per day (that's about 1/25th of a teaspoon), we could eat sodium chloride--with only two of the eighty-four essential elements--all day long and still be deficient of the nutrients we need from real salt.

Nutrient-deficient Sodium Chloride Makes Our Bodies Crave Real, Natural Salt

Because our bodies need natural salt, when we eat less than 0.007 ounces of natural salt per day, a salt craving kicks in. When we eat sodium chloride, it contains none of the nutrients our bodies need. Craving the nutrients found in natural salt, we eat more and more sodium chloride and set up a vicious cycle that results in more and more cravings.


Natural Salt
Salt, as it occurs in the Earth, is a complex crystal containing eighty-four elements that are vital to life. These include hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sodium, magnesium, silicum, chloride, calcium, titanium, chromium, manganese, iron, copper, zinc, selenium, zirconium, silver, iodine, platinum, gold, and many more. As salt moves through the ecosystem, salt nourishes plants and animals, supporting all life.

Answer 2

an average person should only have about 1,100 - 3,300 mg per a day but less than this is good as well. You see salt can take a while to digest and that's why taking in too much is very bad for you so if you eat less salt than this it is fine but this is the remanded amount of salt intake only due to case in witch your body my use more salt then usual.

Answer 3

we eat sea salt only. the doctor said we needed low sodium diet

how much do we need?

Answer 4

i became curious to verify in case you will possibly get an answer. not likely, because of the fact it is not quite plenty the greenback volume because it is "classification envy" or merely common envy. elevating taxes to the left is largely a style of reprimand for being formidable, valuable, annoying working, and an asset to society.

Answer 5

It's sodium, not salt, and keep it under 1500 miligrams per day.

Answer 6

Answer 7
