Re: Need to cut down on SALT!

Hi all

I always use sea salt in cooking and on the table, i have a blood pressure monitor from Boots it cost me a small fortune at the time, it was about 2 years ago when i purchased it, i believe its possable to buy the same unit for alot less.

However my blood pressure is i am told by my GP is very good, and on a par with someone half my age, i like my salt and have told my GP i have not reduced the amount of salt i use, so i suppose it depends on each person

Re: Need to cut down on SALT!

Personally I don't use salt when cooking, Himself always adds salt to whatever he's eating so I don't see the point in him having a double dose.

Re: Need to cut down on SALT!

I haven't use salt at all in any cooking for a few years now, it took me a while to get used to the taste but now I wouldn't have it any other way.

In face the only salt I use now is for sprinkling over icy steps and paths during the winter!

Re: Need to cut down on SALT!

havn't had salt in cooking for years, ( except for bread, bread tastes horrid without a little salt) and don't notice it any more, I use herbs instead as well, does mean cooking from scratch, but do a big lot and freeze it in portions

Re: Need to cut down on SALT!

No cooking with salt here either, and like Mags, buy a stock of it for the steps and paths in Winter

Re: Need to cut down on SALT!

I also have a big stack of salt for the drive and paths in Winter....But I'm lucky I don't have to clear them....himself uses the Tractor to do that. Unless I'm at my own home in Perth then it's out with the Shovels.lol.

I'm not that pernickity, if the food has salt, it has salt I don't worry about it.

Re: Need to cut down on SALT!

I like me salt, but I also have high BP, so I compromise by using Lo-Salt.
