I woke up to discover horrible news, eating salty foods increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. I guess I already knew this, yet I continued to add salt to my pasta, my steak, my potatoes, my fries, my chips, and every other food item I could (even my bread). I always figured my body was craving salt, so I must need to the extra salt in my system. My favorite salt is the sea salt. I love the giant flakes!
So what should I do? Eliminate salt completely? Try to cut back? Eat foods to which I don’t normally add salt (cereal, yogurt, ice cream, candy, etc.)? I wonder if there are any salt alternatives?
