US RDA of Sodium
The RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance) of sodium is 2,400 milligrams per day for healthy individuals. Your doctor may recommend that you consume closer to 2,000 milligrams per day. Remember that this includes table salt as well as salt that is already in foods. However, the less salt consumed, the less water retained, the less work your heart will have to do.
The Facts of the Matter...
Patients with heart failure have to be particularly concerned with water retention. Sodium draws fluid from your body into the blood, increasing the blood volume that your heart must deal with. This places strain on your heart that is particularly dangerous in patients of heart failure. This is one reason that it is important for you to maintain a weight chart. The amount of water your body may be retaining can cause your weight to sway by large increments, placing a larger workload on your heart and circulatory system.
