Read this article, very interesting to see that potassium offsets a lot of the negative effects of salt.

I was not aware of that...

i have high blood pressure, and i found out that cutting out the salt helped a whole lot. i can't believe all of the health studies that i read anymore, but the article was still interesting.

i didn't mean i cut out the sodium from my diet, but i cut back a lot on my sodium intake by not adding it to my meals.

Cut out the table salt and substitute it w/ mineral salt. Tastes the same w/ less negative effects.  Also, fish oil softgels help lower blood pressure.

I'm fortunate, but I never reach for the salt shaker.

Makes about as much sense as me not ever smoking.

I'm a perfect typecast for both....


Big pepper fan though.

Banana a day is good, but if you're looking to bring the Potassium-Sodium ratio to normal levels quickly, there's potassium supplements from Costco.
