Frequently Asked Questions
What is the scientific formula to convert sodium to salt?
Table salt is sodium chloride (NaCl), composed of 40% sodium and 60% chloride by molecular weight. Formula: Salt (g) = Sodium (mg) × 2.5 ÷ 1,000. For example, 2,000 mg sodium = 5.0 g of salt.
What are the official daily limits for sodium intake?
The World Health Organization (WHO) and Singapore Health Promotion Board (HPB) recommend adults consume less than 2,000 mg of sodium per day (roughly 1 teaspoon or 5g of salt).
Why does excess sodium elevate blood pressure in adults 45+?
Excess sodium pulls fluid into the bloodstream, increasing arterial wall volume and hydrostatic pressure against vascular endothelial walls.
