If you have kidneys that are in working order and you're not retaining water (swollen ankles, etc.) then you're fine.

The problem lies in a change in your body's ability to process salt/sodium that you don't notice.

On par, it's better to keep sodium intake to 2500mg per day. That's not a hard and fast rule, but a guideline. The new limit is 1700mg or something unattainable.

This. Good doc ya' got!
