Red face "Overdo"

Dear All,

1) There is an English learning corner on a newspaper saying that "overdo salt" means putting too much salt while cooking.
  • How can I make a sentence with "overdo salt" of the said meaning?

2) "She really overdid the sympathy, she did not seem sincere."
"You just recovered from the flu, so please do not overdo things"
"She always overdoes things"
  • Are they proper English? How can I make them better?

3) Can I use "overdo" on saying someone has been very strict on parenting / working / playing / eating? Kindly explain with examples.


Many thanks / ju
