You're Not a Cow. Cut Some Salt From Your Diet.

Problems with too much salt:

- Fluid Retention

- High Blood Pressure

- Major increase or decreases in urination

- Increase in thirst

According to GIna Roberts-Grey of Next Avenue, Americans eat about twice as much salt (Sodium) as recommended by the American Heart Association.  So, how do you cut back?

- Eat oatmeal for breakfast - Top it with fresh berries. Now there's virtually no sodium.

- Drop a slice or two of pizza - You can get ALL your daily salt from two slices of a 14-inch pepperoni pizza.  Make it yourself, salt free OR eat one piece OR do without once.
