CUT DOWN ON SALT! Most people consume 4,000–6,000 milligrams of sodium daily - two to three times more than they should. According to the National Institutes of Health and the American Heart Association, adults up to the age of 50 should eat no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium (the amount in 1 teaspoon of salt) each day. That amount should be even lower -1,500 milligrams, or those older than 50, African-Americans, and those with high blood pressure. People with a history of heart failure should be even more diligent
