Sodium often flies under the radar when considering key nutrients for overall health. Most of us think of it as the sprinkle of salt that enhances the flavor of our favorite dishes. But sodium plays a much larger role than simply seasoning food—especially as we age. It’s a vital electrolyte that supports critical bodily functions, from maintaining fluid balance to keeping our muscles and nerves working properly.

However, the way our bodies process sodium can change over time. Aging impacts kidney function, making it harder to regulate sodium levels efficiently. This shift means seniors face greater challenges in managing sodium intake, and striking the right balance becomes essential. Low levels can lead to issues like fatigue and muscle weakness, while too much sodium can contribute to high blood pressure, heart strain, and an increased risk of chronic disease.

Despite sodium’s importance, plenty of myths surround it, particularly for older adults. Some believe seniors must entirely cut salt out of their diets, while others assume their lifelong habits need no adjustment at all. These misconceptions can lead to confusion, causing seniors to either restrict sodium unnecessarily or unknowingly face health risks from overindulgence.

In this guide, we will talk about the following:
