For body functions to work I read it's 115 mg/day. They've added a
safety amount to total 500 mg for exercising people. However, salt
from vegetables stays much more in the body than added salt.
Because extracted salt is sweated out to a higher degree.

So even with exercise it may not be much more than 115 mg's a day.
For me there's no problem to average 200-250 mg's a day per week
with tomatoes, celery and carrots.
