With the book's step-by-step approach, eating less salt has never been more achievable.

Most people need only about 500 mg of sodium a day for their bodies to function properly. Q. How much sodium is too much? A. The American Heart Association recommends that everyone eat less than 1,500 milligrams (mg) of sodium a day, so any more than that is considered too much.
