SALT SUBTTITUTES DESERVE A PLACE AT THE TABLE

Fill your saltshaker with a low or no sodium salt or replace it with herbs and spices. Growing evidence shows that substances in herbs and spices may fight cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic conditions. The taste for salt is partly hard-wired,but mostly learned or acquired. Train your taste buds to be satisfied with less salt. Gradually cut back on salt in favor of lemon, pepper, vinegar,herbs and spices. Over time,you might rediscover the true flavor of food and the supper sizzle that herbs and spices have to offer.

Lanre thanks for that great advice. As African Americans we have to be especially careful of our salt intake because we are more prone to high blood pressure than most other races. I have cut back on my salt intake over the last few years but I still have a ways to go.

Good reminder, Lanre. Did you know that the spices in curry are really good for the brain? In countries where the people eat lots of curry, there is very little Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia!

Hi Lanre,
I'm not a big salt user, depend on herbs and spices a lot. Good advice.

Salt substitute (potassium chloride) is good for people who need to lower their sodium intake. It is mildly radioactive though. That is a matter of concern to some people.

Lanre - Great advice, most people are unaware of all the sodium they take in daily especially from processed food. I don't even keep a salt shaker on the table.

Jennifer - That is great that you don't keep a salt shaker on the table. I know you don't go to the Hospital a lot because you eat very healthy.

Just don't use POTASSIUM Salt substitutes without the OK from your doctor as it can effect your Heart & Electrolyte Balance :)

Sincerely,
