Salt.

After a close relative ended up in the Cardiac ICU for a couple of days with congestive heart failure - nearly dying before my eyes at one point - I went grocery shopping. I was gone for 2 HOURS looking for things the person could eat.

Salt is in almost EVERYTHING. There is salt in Jello. Of course, it’s a preservative, but between the (something)-ose, actual sugar, and salt, you have to look and maybe end up eating 5 things for the rest of your life. For salt, for example, we’re talking a pinch of salt per day/400 mg.

I eat little salt now, but even the salt substitutes are bad for you, or so I’m told.

Someone on full keto should increase their salt. I’ve found after long sweaty exercise I need to increase salt or I lose energy. Salt on watermelon works well.

Side journey.., in Afghanistan I got a horrible case of Big-D. The Afghans from Nuristan gave me watermelon with salt and then liver kabob. I found out later this replenished electrolytes perfectly. Only time I had liver kabob in 5 years there.

Eat himalayan salt...not Mortons

I’m not a salter - even homemade soups. I leave that to the eventual eater to decide what they want.

I do love the salt-free herb blends available - ‘Sunny Paris’ from The Spice House in Milwaukee, WI is exceptional and I use it on/in just about everything. :)
