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.
The US FDA website says: "The Dietary Guidelines recommend that the general population consume no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium a day (about a teaspoon of table salt)." That's what recommended. You asked how much is "normal per day". Many people eat far more salt than that. Remember that almost all processed and canned foods have added salt and that has to be included in the teaspoon of salt described above.

Density of table salt is around 1.02 grams per milliliter.
About 1.6 grams of sodium, which is 4 grams of salt. You're already getting a good amount (perhaps the whole 4 gr.) in the foods you eat without adding table salt.
Table salt typically contains iodine in the form of iodide at a concentration of about 0.006%-0.01% by weight. This is done to help prevent iodine deficiency, which can lead to thyroid issues.

The current recommendation is to consume less than 2,400 milligrams (mg) of sodium a day. This is about 1 teaspoon of table salt per day. It includes ALL salt and sodium consumed, including sodium used in cooking and at the table. The US sodium RDA of less than 2,400 mg is higher than the UK Recommended Nutritional Intake (RNI) whose upper limit for sodium is 1,600 mg. = =
A typical person needs 4g of salt per day. Very few people need more than 6g of salt per day.The range for the healthy daily intake is 2-5 g.
i really have no idea but they dont need so much that they get sick.
The average recommended daily allowance of salt is 2,300 milligrams per day for an adult human. This amount decreases to 1,500 milligrams for people 51 years old or older. The average daily amount of salt consumed by the average American is 3,500 milligrams.
Fourteen grams of salt is approximately 0.08 cups. Since there are about 240 grams in a cup of table salt, you can calculate this by dividing 14 grams by 240 grams per cup. This conversion can vary slightly depending on the type of salt due to differences in grain size, but for table salt, this approximation holds true.
The Food Standards Agency in the UK recommends consuming a maximum of 6g per day (2.4g sodium)
