This is good news - now you have something to keep track of. Pour a teaspoon of table salt into your palm, that's 2400 mg salt. That's about 20% over the limit and the limit includes what's naturally occuring. Bilby suggested roasting veges - yes indeed, really improves flavor salt or low salt. A "Food Counter" that has a sodium column will help. I haven't looked at mine for awhile but I love blue cheese salad dressing and at 240 mg sodium per serving (2 tbls) there just went more than 10 percent of my daily budget - for 2 tbls? Don't think so - I just don't keep any salad dressing around at all - a little vinegar and oil goes real well.
Best of luck - study up on other spices and enjoy!
