Na = salt?
Sodium equals salt? Many people think that the words [salt] and [sodium] are the same. In fact, strictly speaking, sodium is only a part of salt, because salt is a compound of sodium chloride, containing 40% sodium and 60% chlorine. So it is not entirely correct to say that sodium is salt. The World Health Organization suggests that ordinary adults should consume less than one teaspoon (flat spoon) of salt [about 6 grams, containing 2300 milligrams of sodium] every day to be healthy. If there is a problem of hypertension, it is recommended to use no more than 2/3 teaspoons of salt a day [about 4 grams, containing sodium 1500 mg].
