Salt – The Enemy

With the exception of putting salt on popcorn, and rimming margarita glasses, I rarely use salt. Actually I use salt less than rarely.
Despite having low blood pressure, and being sodium deficient. I crave it all the time, but I find that there is too much salt in foods to begin with. So I just don’t use it.
Last night I had left over indian food for dinner, and this morning I woke up with my joints all swollen. OK only my wrists are swollen, but the rest of me feels like I sprained every other joint in my body. It feels wrong….and I am pretty sure that its due to my salt intake.
So now I am guzzling water like its going out of style.
Yuck!
This just made me think that there is going to be a huge positive media campaign surrounding salt….like the ones for milk, pork, and potatoes. Can’t wait to see what they come up with.
