No one rule fits everyone on table salt. Still, everyone needs 500 mg. The average person should not get more than 2,500 mg. If your doctor has recommended less, go by those recommendations. However, if you are perspiring profusely in a hot climate, you would need more salt. Most Americans get more salt than they need in processed food.
