Whats the deal hereAre black people more prone to high blood pressure or something?

Legend Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 66822 Location: Illinois	#8 Posted: 2/7/2012 6:17:00 PM Moderation is the key. Everyone eats salt. It's necessary. Just try to avoid prepared foods that are loaded up with sodium and don't go nuts shaking salt on everything. Beyond that it's not worth getting too worked up over unless you have especially high blood pressure.

In fact, the body will crave pickle juice and will drink half a jar of it. It's an electrolyte and need it. But on the flip side....... it's hygroscopic (absorbs garbage) which I cannot imagine being good for the body. Either way, it is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to eat less than the recommended 2400 milligrams a day. I tracked my food for a month on an online calculator and am a pretty good eater. It's IMPOSSIBLE.

"moderation" But if listen to the 2400 milligram guidelines...... will be IMPOSSIBLE to hit that. Even if you make your own food. If you leave the house and eat...... LESS THAN ZERO CHANCE.

The tableside salt doesn't add up as fast as the internal ingredient salt.
