It's fine for me, with a much lower blood pressure. I actually require separate salt intake sometimes (apart from the salt I add when cooking), if I am cycling for a little longer.
Not sure who downvoted you, I drink at least 2000mg supplemental sodium daily, more if I'm sweating. When I go out for a big day I'll go through 3 liquid IV and as many bottles of plain water.
Noone did.
While my supplemental sodium is less than 2g, my overall Sodium intake is easily more than that.
I add enough salt to my food that it enhances the taste of whatever is being cooked. Specially, the diced tomato stays with ~ 0.5g of salt for the ~15 minutes it is kept before adding it to the pan. Then if I am going out and cycling a bit, depending upon my level of fatigue, I might use 1/2 a packet of ORS at a time, with a max total of 1.5 whole packets (and that is pushing it) if I am needing it more than once a day. If I need more, I go with lemonade with black-salt.
I have upvoted both of your comments back to 1. I can't be bothered to check the modlog
