      But not too much! Some salt is good, but not the absurd amounts you’ll find in prepared food from the food service industry.

      Also, make sure the salt you use has iodine in it. Lots of people don’t get that

        If you eat only home cooked meals then yes definitely don’t cut it out completely but if you eat out at restaurants or any processed foods then you’re almost guaranteed to get all the salt you need.

      I think at the end of the day, moderation is what’s most important.
