I’m definitely not the only one with elders who advised me to take everything with a grain of salt.
Salt livens things up and draws out flavor. There was even a time when it was traded ounce for ounce with gold.
So what’s wrong with a little extra salt to provide that knockout punch to a great dish prepared with all that love?
Well let’s hear what the clinicians have to say:
Excess sodium intake is linked to: hypertension/high blood pressure, heart disease, fluid retention (oedema), kidney stones, left ventricular hypertrophy (cardiac enlargement), gastric cancer, osteoporosis, duodenal cancers and heartburn. I forgot to mention that a high-sodium diet also increases the body’s need for potassium.
So before you lower that salt encrusted right hand back into the noisy aluminum bag for another chip of that salty, tangy, zippy goodness, take just a moment to think about your sodium intake and how much your body is counting on you.
High Sodium Foods you probably want to skip.
* Hogmaws, ribs, and chitterlings.
* Smoked or cured meats like bacon, bologna, hot dogs, ham, corned beef, luncheon meats, and sausage.
* Canned fish like tuna, salmon, sardines, and mackerel. (If you must have them, please rinse before eating).
* Salty chips, nuts, pretzels, or pork rinds.
* Quick cooking rice and instant noodles, boxed mixes like rice, scalloped potatoes, macaroni and cheese, and some frozen dinners, pot pies and pizza.
* Regular canned vegetables.
* Pickled foods like herring, pickles, relish, olives, or sauerkraut.
* Butter, fatback, and salt pork.
* Soy sauce, steak sauce, salad dressing, ketchup, barbecue sauce, garlic salt, onion salt, seasoned salts like lemon pepper, bouillon cubes, meat tenderizer, and monosodium glutamate (MSG).
