Well it’s hard to avoid salt completely, and some salt is necessary. Most ppl don’t need to add salt, though, as it’s already in so many foods. So maybe try to avoid adding salt. Moderation!

I would read recent studies about salt. I’ve heard that we underestimate how much salt we actually do need. I don’t think a lot of sodium is good- especially from eating a lot of sausages or cans of soup. But adding salt to flavor food doesn’t seem to be A terrible thing.

I prefer without salt! However, if I eat eggs, I put a little bit of salt. But most of the time I eat neutral foods for breakfast

A small amount of salt is ok, just don’t add salt to your breakfast. E.i. Salty chease is ok, adding salt to a slice of meat isn’t.

Well it’s recommended around 2.3g of salt should be your daily amount so it depends on your diet. I personally do, but you have to consider what you at having for lunch and dinner

I would suggest consider the source of the salt. If it is natural and low in salt then it should be fine. But if there is a tendency to add excess salt then proceed with caution. Eggs are a good start, also avocado or low fat proteins may be a good help as well in the mornings.

I think a little is okay. It can get your muscles ready to move and prepare you for the day. Too much sodium can be a problem though.

Sodium is necessary for our body . If it gets drop then we can face some problems in our daily life ... So small amount of sodium is must in our meal

Salt is a little different for me than most people - I actually need more of it and don’t eat much so it would be good for me to have a little salt in my breakfast as long as I am drinking plenty of water!

That depend if you have any medical restriction concerning salt intake, but if it is not the case then small amount it’s ok
