Always do the opposite of what the FDA says: "FDA issues new salt guidelines [to reduce intake]" | tl;dr: Salt is not bad for you. Read "The Salt Fix", dyor

Not a shill for big salt, I just really really love this stuff (orange flavor best): https://drinklmnt.com/pages/the-science

Half a pack in 16oz of water will make your day right. As much as minerals can anyway.

The likelihood of health problems was quite high in individuals consuming less than 2g of sodium per day, the lowest rate of events was at about 5g per day of sodium intake. This is more than double what is recommended by the AHA, FDA, and CDC. What is particularly interesting is the study’s authors noted that one must get as high as 8g of sodium per day to see the same degree of problems as below 2g per day of intake

Another study found that not only was sodium restriction ineffective in hypertensive patients, those who consumed lower than 2.5g per day of sodium had consistently HIGHER blood pressure than those who consumed larger amounts

They make orange-flavored salt?

Yeah they make like 9 or 10 different flavors. I bought a variety pack and the orange was my favorite, chocolate salt runner up.

Edit: Actually it's 8 flavors. Free sample pack here: https://drinklmnt.com/pages/letsrun-samplepack
