In the latter stages of my time in the UK I started trying to monitor my sodium intake quiet closely, but I don't think it was terribly successful because it was such an admin overhead. I guess you could say that my diet was typically Western, with too much junk food and not enough fruit and vegetables - I averaged about three portions a day instead of the recommended five.
I've found that Koreans like putting a lot of salt in many of their dishes, but I quickly taught my host family not to do this when they cooked for me. It's possible then, that my sodium intake has reduced considerably, but I have no practical way of effectively measuring this. Inevitably, my diet has switched to a more rice and noodle based one, which perhaps was more healthy anyway. I still don't think I'm eating enough fruit and vegetables though.
