Cutting back on salt content isn't so hard if you can cut back on canned foods, deli meat and such. I was supposed to go salt free according to one doctor and I found that's almost impossible unless you prepare everything you eat from scratch. I asked again about "salt free" and got the answer to just watch salt content. Keep it at or below 2g/day which is the recommended level for everyone. They typical sodium intake is about 4.4g/day.
Walk around the grocery store and look at the sodium/serving content on canned soup and other items. It's spooky! I'm planning on about 60 more years, isn't everyone?

That was great. Let us all hope that none of us need to be added to the memorial list for another 30 years. I would prefer 60 more years for me. If I only go caving once a year, that would be 60 caves at the most I will see before I croak. So I am either going to have to find a way to live longer, or go caving more often, or both. That means I am going to have to give up french fries. So far, have not been able to kick this deadly addiction. Have any of you tried restricting the salt content in your diet? It is not easy.
