In my latest health odyssey (Trip thru the medical purgatory of hospital incompetence) I have had lots of time to perseverate on my diet and other things.
I am now on a lower salt diet in an attempt to lower the ol’ BP even more. I find the BP meds pretty crappy. There is a side effect for everything. It’s like making a wish, there is a good and bad.
I hate big pharma more and more, daily.
I would like to stop taking this bullshit medication.
So, My own tips for navigating this new world:
Cheese is a big no. Swiss is ok in moderation, it’s the lowest in sodium.
I found low salt potato chips, not bad. I don’t eat massive amounts anyway, just a handful every few days. It fills the salt/treat void.
Soy sauce is deadly for sodium, so that’s off my list. Using low sodium soup stock now in place of a lot of salt stuff. I made chow mien the other day, no soy sauce.
Peanut butter and onions. Yup, that is the current breakfast food in my life. I get the all natural peanut butter. No added salt, sugar or fat. On homemade bread, toasted.
