That is pretty amazing how different we are. I'm trying to detect if lower salt intake makes me feel any better, but I can't say that I've noticed anything to date. I just know that overdoing it is really, really bad.
I've ordered an exome test and am going give the sodium channel genes a good going over.

Today I had a spinach chia protein smoothie for breakfast and I'm already crashing due to the fact that I had no salt. Feel terrible. I literally have found that I feel better after a pile of chips over a low sodium grilled chicken salad, so I've learned how to use that salt shaker. My doctor says I should be on 10-20g of salt a day. It doesn't fix me, but it keeps me off the floor a little longer.
