There's no real good evidence that sodium is bad for health if you have healthy kidneys. South Koreans eat twice the sodium on average as Americans and have less heart disease. Before refrigeration Europeans ate at least ten times the sodium as modern Americans and didn't have heart disease. Your kidneys will remove exactly as much sodium as necessary depending on amount of sodium in your diet.
Or you sweat it out.
Taking a potassium supplement spares the kidneys the effort of reclaiming potassium from urine.
I switched to "Lite Salt" for this reason. it is a mixture of 50/50 KCl and NaCl. You can even get pure KCl. It is sold as "Salt Substitute". Morton makes some.
Not to say that Sodium Chloride is particularly bad, if your kidneys are fine, but there are benefits to adding more potassium to your diet.
Opposite has been mentioned of hurting your heart more easily as it affects PH level. What was credited to the “Salt Scare” was probably the increase consumption of fried foods in the US and UK.
To amplify the other comments, sodium isn't the issue. The Western diet of carbs and sugar is. Eat more
chiknmeat in general.
