That's interesting, Tink. I have some brothers in law who inherited a heart disease (cardiomyopathy, I think) and they are all on an extremely low sodium diet. So far, they are all doing well (that is, except for the one who passed away, sadly)
My husband, who is healthy (knock on wood) said he would never follow a diet like that. He said he would rather live a shorter happy life, than a longer life where he can't enjoy many of the foods that he loves. Who knows what the right answer is? I agree with others-I think all things, in moderation, are fine. The secret is to know WHAT you are eating. So many people don't even realize how much sodium is in most processed foods. I, for one, never add salt to anything I eat (except french fries) And when I cook, I don't eliminate salt. But whatever amount of salt the recipe calls for, I will put in half that amount-that is my compromise. Well, if nothing else-sounds like you can start enjoying more food that you haven't had for awhile! |

Wow, Tink, you're my hero for being able to avoid salt for that long!! I love salt and I honestly put it on almost everything I eat. I do have problems with one kidney, and my doctor told me to cut out salt, and anything really salty including processed meat. I did it for about a month and then the cravings were so bad I couldn't do it anymore! So I continued with my salt obsession and the last time I went to my doctor, my kidney had improved 200%! So I'm glad I didn't cut out salt for the past two years lol

I dont salt anything at the table. I do salt while cooking but lightly. It taste normal to me because thats the way I cook. However everyone around who eats my cooking keeps the shaker handy! I only use sea salt. And have been doing so since the early 90's. In the beginning I actually used sea water, as it use to be quite hard to find sea salt. However it is readily available now.
Our bodies so need salt, and the Dr's have been slow to realise it. The health store type community has known it for a long time. There are a number of studies out that are in error, one that eggs are bad for you......eggs are an excellent source of protien. Milk is not good for you. especially this formaldihyde processed stuff we buy in the stores. Fat isnt what makes you fat. In fact if you dont have a certain amount of fat in your diet you cannot lose weight. Instead overly processed white flour and sugar is what makes us fat. That and fast food!!!!! Look at the positive here! you can have some pickles now! Wiley makes sum wonderful ones! |

I'm sorry Tink, that's terrible.
I eat a lot of salt. Probably much more than I need. Where do you find your sea salt Yotes? |

Tink that is terrible how they change things but never get back to inform you.. I am ordered to have extra salt because if you remember I was getting light headed and dizzy a year or two ago. The dr. says that I need the salt for my pressure being was on the lower side. I eat salt in moderation .
