have a medical in a couple of weeks and since my blood pressure has been on the high side of normal to slightly over for the past few years thought i'd give up salt for a few weeks prior to the tests to see if salt intake really does control your blood pressure. only started a few days ago but already it's a nightmare, unseasoned meat and especially chicken i ...[text shortened]... een cooking it in salted water for so long cooking in regular water makes it taste like chalk.
you ingest comes from processed foods, not the salt shaker. Salt the pasta (lightly) and read the labels.
And quit smoking.

Dude you are way too young and skinny to have elevated BP. COOL IT!
Try substitutes or other spices. You're a cook, figure it out. How messed up would it be for you to have a heart attack or stroke in your 20's or 30's!?!!!!

Errm.... you had a beer or 2 tonight?
Sod the salt changes, as Mrs Mike said. Let them assess the real situ.
Salt is a least of concerns in bodily and organ function; unless you don't eat food .
You are concentrating in areas that you think affect you most, when they are least!

Originally posted by trev33'Until' and 'but' are highly operative words that I teach the kids. If you learn this, then you can do that, but....., until......
i'd rather experiment on myself until i'm happy with my blood pressure level and resting heart rate. both are a little high but other than that everything else is golden.
If you desire to experiment upon yourself then why go for a check soon, in the first place?? 😉
