Re: Eating less salt

Re: Eating less salt

maybe it wouldnt have such a dire effect if mi eat onlge one or so.

my stepdad went thru the same thing - he weaned himself down by eating green peppers, then worked his way back to a more comfortable place with grapefruit. he got this advice from the diabetic clinic (which mi still balking at going to). he doesn't eat as much fruit anymore.

i did go to a dietician one time and she said when i eat fruit to have it with some cheese or nuts to reduce the speed of absorption of the sugar. or something like that. definitely there is a connection between how much and how u eat fruit and a diabetic condition.

Re: Eating less salt

very interesting thread...

water retention and salt are related MG.
i prefer the natural tastes of food, so i dont add salt to what i eat.
however after a long run i usually eat 1 or 2 of those pretzel rods as they are heavy in salt and i dont do gatorade

for quick carbs (simple sugars), i eat oranges or bananas....my bodies equivalent of candy. when i have more time i add some almonds to that and i am good.

a dietician person told me one time that if you have to eat packaged foods make sure that the ingredients include an equal portion of potassium to the portion of salt that it contains. i forget why she said to do that, but i do look when i am in a bind and eat canned soups, etc.

ILP, what ive heard is that if u taking water pills for high blood pressure, u supposed to eat at least a half a banana a day for the potassiu. fren of mine developed diabetes from not eating his banana (sorry, mek mi stop fi a lickle *snicker* ). not quite sure of the connection, but the current blood pressure pill mi tekking has an extra ingredient to stop potassium loss.

can't quite make the connection from what the dietician told u, though.

Re: Eating less salt

ok...i was so intrigued mi had to google it...

here's what i found....

<span style="font-style: italic">A Western diet, such as in the United States, is high in sodium and low in potassium. For example, ham has 8 times more sodium than potassium, and canned chicken soup has 34 times more sodium. Diets in other parts of the world, rich in fruits and vegetables, tend to have foods much higher in potassium. An orange contains no sodium and lots of potassium and boiled peas contain nearly 33 times more potassium than sodium. Interestingly, when an individual from a society where foods are rich in potassium moves to a Western society, their blood pressure rises.

Studies show that increasing potassium intake lowers blood pressure, reduces risk of stroke and kidney disease, and prevents the thickening of heart muscle due to high blood pressure. Additionally, in those with high blood pressure, increasing the potassium reduces the need for blood pressure medication and in some cases allows for patients to completely stop their blood pressure pills.</span>

From Here

and the whole time i thought the connect might be due to water retention and sodium or some such...now mi more confused...
