The average American eats five or more teaspoons of salt each day. This is about 20 times as much as the body needs. In fact, your body needs only 1/4 teaspoon of salt every day. Sodium is found naturally in foods
Is this accurate, one more thing is meat really salty although it does not taste seem so?

Yep... that sounds about right

Depends. If you sweat a lot you need a lot more salt than if you're just NEETing. And if we're talking completely unseasoned food stone age style, you'd be hard pressed to get enough salt without at least one seafood meal a day. Drinking blood and eating offal makes it better, but still hard to eat enough. All in all the notion that we eat too much salt is pretty ridiculous since the body has several neat mechanisms to get rid of excess sodium, ranging from severe thirst, pissing and cold sweats to violent puking.

If you're active, or somewhere hot
/humid you need a lot of salt. I read that explorers ate 10,000-15,000 cals daily, they'd need salted meats.

When I was doing water fasts I started out taking 1/4 tsp of salt a day dissolved in water. After awhile though I had to up it to 1/2 tsp because I wasn't feeling right. Was fine after that.

excess sodium is removed from the body with enough water intake

You need salt to live. More salt = more life

You also need a lot of potassium otherwise your body can't afford to flush it out with the sodium and you retain water.

That's not a catfish, that's a whale shark, young one from the size of it.

>>12800018
Shark flesh goes bad incredibly fast, they have to do it while it's alive. Barbaric, but it is to preserve flavor. They should not be fishing them as whale sharks are incredibly slow growers and are endangered.

Salt substitute is usually potassium based. Drinking enough water and using that seems like a good solution, especially if you don't eat premade/fast food often.
