HOW MUCH SODIUM SHOULD YOU HAVE? The Dietary Guidelines for healthy adults recommends limiting dietary intake to less than 2400 milligrams (mg) per day. The human body needs very minute amounts of sodium to function normally. We need about 250 mg of sodium each day, which is easily supplied by natural, unprocessed foods; however, the average people consume approximately 4000 to 6000 mg per day. In Asian diets, the sodium intake can climb to over 8000 mg per day.
