Hey! Great question! This is definitely on our topics to cover list – you’ll find brief info on salt under the iodine note and the high blood pressure note, “the salt dilemma.” Pregnant women crave salty foods for a reason! Only a small percentage of people are “salt sensitive” when it comes to blood pressure. So, adding salt when cooking is recommended. Avoiding highly processed foods that are typically high in salt is recommended as well, but of course, for more reasons than high sodium. I hope this helps! But we will be working on a more research intensive note to come!
