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.
