"In 2019, the National Academies of
Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) established
the Chronic Disease Risk Reduction (CDRR) intake, a
chronic-disease–specific recommendation for dietary sodium
of 2,300 mg/day. Reducing daily sodium to CDRR intake is
expected to reduce chronic disease risk among healthy persons, primarily by lowering blood pressure."
