As a general rule, we don’t put the salt shaker on the table and we don’t use much in cooking. There’s plenty of salt already added to most foods you buy at the store. I no longer eat canned soups because of the sodium content.

OTOH, I never pass up an opportunity to eat bacon; salt or no salt! I guess my doctor’s orders will only be partially observed.

Hi Jinxie ((Waving)) HUGS

There is no doubt salt is a wonderful food enhancer but I've recently noticed how much is in some of the sandwiches from McDs and those types. Plus as Jinxie says soups are some of the worst. I love having a breakfast sandwich and am learning to eat one without the bacon or sausage.

I add very little while cooking cause I learned over time most people would add salt without tasting to see if it was needed.

Again, like Jinxie, there are some things with a lot of sodium that I won't give up entirely. I just take a potassium tab or eat a banana which are good for countering affects of too much sodium.

Most people know the bad affects of too much sodium, but many do not know the bad affects of too LITTLE...(excerpt = Sodium deficiency is quite rare, due to the high levels of sodium in the modern diet. However, symptoms of a sodium deficient diet can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, and muscle weakness) - oh and fatigue (from my own experience).
