(12,569 posts)With high blood pressure and heart disease I too must watch my daily salt intake, although since Im also on two different kinds of water medications and must keep up being hydrated, the balancing act is hard.
The water pills decrease my sodium levels
I have to keep that up without overdoing any salt products, getting sodium through natural means. My cardiologist explained it to me along with simple suggestions.
Since Im the primary cook in the house it makes it much easier. Should add we eat very little ultra processed food and dont go out to eat very often.
