Dave A Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Salt is not the only bad thing. I dearly love hot peppers and had been growing Carolina Reapers and Moruga Scorpions for years. I was eating one or two a day and eventually I was the only one sweating where ever I went. Then sleeplessness and finally one day I thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest. It was the peppers and after eating hot stuff from the age of nine at 63 I had to quit. Capsicum is a strong cardio vascular stimulant and apparently my diet of super hots for some ten years finally met rebellion from my body. Along the way after quitting them other things happened like my swollen nasal passages that made me sleep in certain positions only now were normal sized and I could sleep any way I wanted to. That hot stuff also makes you use the salt shaker so I just had to quit. Once every few weeks I splash a dab of hot sauce on things but that is it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All depends on the person,I kept hearing salt was bad so I cut as much out of my diet as possible. Went for my regular physical and had blood drawn,I was sodium deficient. lol. I dropped over 40 lbs just staying away from fast food, junk food and cutting back on sugar,feel much better and eat pretty much anything I want at meals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you sweat and you eat and exercise/work...it is vital to the Heath... getting it right may be the secret.. Developed sun prostration at a pop festival in Georgia, July 4th and was escorted into the shade...after a couple of salt tabs... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyBob Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 it's a good thing there is 40 miles between Mac's and me they have the fat/salt ratio just right. I found the food in HI very salty when I first got there. I think you get desensitized. Spend a few months in salt spray at the beach....

Eating anything with fake bones, may fall under unhealthy lol! The wife likes them also. Me not so much.This is one ingredient.

JJkizak Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 When my doctor gave me a new diet for low salt and sugar it was some icky-poo-poo Mediterranean diet with water. That left out about one hundred trillion other things to eat. Salad only goes so far. Water only goes so far. Well done meat is for the crows. And there were somethings on that diet that supermarkets didn't have that you had to go on safari in Africa to get. JJK 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree....No matter how you look at it, SALT is a human NECESSITY for survival, ESPECIALLY in hot and humid climates! So, keep that in mind. The reason why they started Iodizing salt was due to not enough people eating fish. Your thyroid gland needs the iodine to work correctly! SO, too much elimination of salt in your diet can be just as unhealthy as consuming too much salt...you just need to find the mid-ground and stay there. The best way to get the things you need for your body to function properly is to let the foods you eat be your medicine! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
