Answer 2

The 2003 Seventh Joint National Committee (JNC-7) guidelines [68] and the World Health Organization-International Society of Hypertension (WHO/ISH) guidelines [69] recommend reducing dietary salt intake to

approximately 2.3 g of sodium
that would be 2300 mg ( lets say less than than 2-3 grams to make it easy)
that is 2000-3000mg

I like to look at calorieking.com to see the sodium content of food.
this is a really nice site you can look up fast food too.

Answer 3

The part a person can control should be around 2 grams, but there is a larger portion which you are unable to control. Total average intake in the U.S.A is about 6 grams.

Answer 4

To be frank these web search figures are controversial, you must reduce your daily dietary intake of salt. DON'T sprinkle extra salt in your diet, this will help you in hot weather too. Avoid salty snacks and fast food and drinks Coke etc. This is the best solution for all ages, these web figures are given under a controlled environment.In case of any problem you must consult your doctor + a dietrician. In hot weather due to loss of salt in perspiration these values can prove to be dangerous.OK. The so called authorities just end up in Switzerland spend their summer holiday and give a frenzy figure, as RECOMMENDATION, while they have a lucrative meal 5 times a day.
Hope answered your question.
