High-Sodium, Low-Potassium Diet Linked to Heart Risk - Mach 1 Club - 07-13-2011

As I get older Ive started to try to take better care of myself. It can be tough sometimes because the bad foods sure taste a lot better than the "good for you foods". In reality I've worked to hard in my life to die young and not get a chance to enjoy some of the cream of life in my
"Golden Years" geez I cant believe I'm saying these words when it comes to me. But Ive stopped eating fast food, I rarely drink alcohol, considering I was easily a case a week in beer this is big! I quit smoking another tough habit to stop. And Im determined to lose weight!

Since this site is sort of like family with all of you, I wanna make sure to keep u updated on health stuff I find!

Good info! I gave up the salt shaker about six years ago. It was hard at first, but I eventually got use to the salt free taste.

I'm working hard to cut salt out completely, but its freaking everywhere!

It's better to go with the frozen vegetables rather than the canned. The canned foods are full of sodium.

I really go after organic nowadays. I'm almost anal with the way I shop for foods. A 30 minute grocery run has turned into a 2 hour ordeal since I must read every single label. Crazy

My wife does most of our shopping, but I do my mothers shopping for her. At 88 years old she lives alone (about 3 miles away from us) and does pretty well, but I have to check most of the food labels to check on sugar, sodium, fat content, etc. It does take a while!
