Low Salt diet and cooking ideas, any help would be appreciated.?

You need lots of flavor to make up for the lack of salt (or you can partially compensate with hot-spicey foods if you like them), though your taste buds will acclimate some over time so that low-salt foods won't taste so bland if not much salt is used.

*Sodium* is harder to get around in general though because it's in just about every processed food item, in most restaurant foods, and also in some of those flavorings you might want to use (like soy sauce). That means you'll have to mostly make your own foods/dishes, and also figure out a few things that you can buy in restaurants or in most of the grocery store.

I don't think anyone *could* possibly eat a diet that's totally free from sodium though, so I'm betting that you just need to cut it way back.

I think you really need to check out some of the online sites that deal with low-sodium diets (there are a lot of them!) as well as message boards dealing with those in your shoes for the most help, the quickest.

Forums/message boards can not only be a source of a lot of good info, but you can get a great sense of community from being around people who are dealing with the same issues, and you can all help each other.

So here are some places to start:

P.S. About the plain rice, I've found that basmati rice and some other kinds of rice are quite tasty with no salt at all added (I never put salt in my cooking water for rice anyway). I like to add a bit of the spice turmeric to my rice sometimes too, which gives it a sort of popcorn taste as well as making it quite healthy (and yellow).

Also medium or short grain rices (which will be "stickier") are also quite good without salt.

You can always put things on your rice though, like your low-sodium butter or even veggies and various low-sodium sauces/gravies, etc.

Good luck!

I'm not sure if you have a Trader Joe's in your area but they specialize in "special diets" They have clear labeling on their products for "low sodium" or "gluten free".

Of course you can have SOME sodium, you just need to cut back. You will find most of it in your processed foods. As far as cheese, the one with the naturally lowest sodium is Swiss cheese.

There is also a salt substitute you can purchase called "Also Salt". It is the first and only sodium free salt substitute that actually tastes like salt.

Fresh fruits and vegetables and frozen (as long as there is no sauce) are low in sodium. Also, grocers are starting to carry more low sodium or sodium free foods and condiments now such as spaghetti sauce, ketchup, snacks cereals and much more.

Of course you will pay a little more for "specialty items" but it definitely could help you in the long run.

Good luck, stay healthy :- D

You need to be joking . . . proper ?? If you have performed any study in any respect you could recognize that tape worms will also be very unsafe to 1's wellness, actually it will possibly kill. Ingesting something that overseas to the human frame isn't a well suggestion. It is dubious that you simply might get any variety of patent for this considering that it's not a nontoxic suggestion from a wellness viewpoint. Your suggestion maybe plausable in a few 3rd global nation however now not within the USA. People are carzy and can take a look at almost something however drinking a tape malicious program is individually out of the query. And in which could you get the worms ? And how could you produce them in antiseptic situation ? How could you get them in a tablet configuration ? It's my bet your suggestion is exactly a funny story and you are now not particularly severe . . . . I desire.
