- For sodium in the diet, see Edible salt.
Sodium is the chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Na (Natrium in Latin) and atomic number 11. Sodium is a soft, waxy, silvery reactive metal belonging to the alkali metals that is abundant in natural compounds (especially halite). It is highly reactive, burns with a yellow flame, reacts violently with water and oxidizes in air, necessitating storage in an inert environment.
Notable characteristics
Like the other alkali metals, sodium metal is a soft, light-weight, silvery white, reactive metal. Owing to its extreme reactivity, it occurs in nature only combined in compounds, never as a pure elemental metal. Sodium metal floats on water and reacts with it violently, releasing heat and flammable hydrogen gas, and forming a solution of the strong base sodium hydroxide. More on [ Sodium ]
@smallbirdjenna @stupidclever I am obliged to pass along the "low sodium" suggestion that my Dr gave me. I haven't tried it yet though!

@Suhaila Sadly, more water = more pee, but your bladder adapts. Decaf tea and coffee are fine IMO and low sodium miso might be ok.

I was told to eat a low sodium diet AND not cook. How does that work? Had to wait on Paul for an hour before he boiled water for pasta.
