Salt. Are the sodium recommendations in the MRM the maximums I should never go over, or should I really be working at getting that much sodium every day? I eat a lot of unprocessed stuff that has none or little salt, so I haven't been getting 2g/day even though I do drink a glass of salt water every morning (with 1/4t salt in it). (I drink that to get my BP up because it runs low and I tend to get orthostatic hypotension). Now that I am starting week 3 tomorrow I'm supposed to go up to 3g of sodium/day - that's a LOT. What's the reasoning behind that??
