Way #16 Salt is not your friend
When you are working to get away from processed food,
especially fast food restaurants you will naturally reduce
your sodium (mostly from salt) intake. This will naturally
make you crave salt from other sources, for a time.
Excessive sodium is not your friend for two primary reasons.
First is causes you to retain excess water putting undue
stress on your vascular system. Second, is causes organs to
work harder than they need to and, in extreme cases, can upset
your electrolytes; the very workings of your body.
If your water intake is up, your salt is probably not a
problem. The number one recommendation to deal with excessive
sodium is to remove the shaker from your table. Also, learn
to rely on the pepper family to treat bored tastebuds.
Finally, drive that salty snack lineup right out the door.
