Track your daily sodium intake and see the real health impact — BP rise, organs at risk, and stroke/heart disease projections.
Most people eat 2x more salt than they should — and 75% of it is hidden. Tap from 30+ common foods across fast food, packaged, hidden sources, and condiments. Watch a real-time sodium gauge with AHA ideal (1500mg), WHO (2000mg), and AHA upper (2300mg) limit markers. See your intake visualized as teaspoons of salt. A blood pressure impact meter shows estimated mmHg rise, a body impact map pulses organs under strain (heart, kidneys, arteries, stomach, brain), and a 10-year damage projection shows stroke and heart disease risk increase. Hidden salt detector flags sneaky sources like bread, cereal, and cottage cheese.
The AHA recommends ideally under 1,500mg sodium (3.75g salt) per day, with an upper limit of 2,300mg (5.75g salt, about 1 teaspoon). The WHO recommends under 2,000mg (5g salt).
Salt is sodium chloride. Sodium makes up 40% of salt by weight. To convert: sodium(mg) × 2.5 = salt(mg). 1 tsp salt = 5.75g salt = 2,300mg sodium.
About 75% of sodium in the average diet comes from processed and restaurant food — not your salt shaker. Breads, cereals, sauces, deli meats, and canned foods are major hidden sources.
Excess sodium causes your body to hold extra water, increasing blood volume and pressure. Every 1g sodium reduction drops systolic BP by approximately 1 mmHg. Sustained high intake damages blood vessels and increases stroke and heart attack risk.
