Reduce the salt content of your food
The high sugar content of numerous foods is a concern shared by many consumers. Equally hazardous is the high salt content of the ready made foods we buy, in addition to the salt we use at home in condiments and cooking.
There is no doubt that our bodies need sodium to function. Sodium helps to carry nutrients into our cells and is the main component of the body’s extracellular fluids. It also helps to regulate blood pressure. But the amount we really need is far smaller than the average amount consumed.
Salt Considerations
Genetically our bodies are designed to store extra salt, combine this with excessive salt consumption and we have the contributory factors that produce high blood pressure, strokes and cardiovascular disease, to kidney stones, stomach cancer, osteoporosis and even cataracts. However the silver lining appears when a consistent reduction of salt intake successfully lowers blood pressure within just a few weeks.
If we use less salt at the table and in cooking we can reduce our intake by at least a third. But by far the biggest problem is reducing salt in almost all of the manufactured food products we buy over which we have no direct control. Such widespread use of salt has induced ‘the salt habit’ whereby the prospect of bland and tasteless food can be an obstacle to achieving a healthier lifestyle.
