You Can Reduce Your Salt Intact – A Rant

Seems everywhere I look  someone is telling me to reduce my salt intake.  This is a much easier task then you think.   The first step is to stop eating all that fast, takeout food.  Sure it taste great; they load it up with salt to make it taste great.  Then you ask them to put some extra salt into the bag, just in case they shorted the fries.

Look, I have been telling everyone for over a year that they need to start preparing meals at home.  The more you make at home the less you are at the mercy of the 16 year old working the fry machine.  The second easy thing you can do is to stop using all of those pre-prepared foods.  Again, the companies load these up to make them taste good, taste good but very bad for us. Make meals using fresh ingredients, check out any canned goods you use in cooking.  There are low sodium versions of almost everything on the market these days.

So finally let me hit home…do it for the kids.  Make their meals and besides healthier meals , you may just have the opportunity to spend some quality time with them.  And as an added bonus, eating healthier yourself may just keep you around to see their kids.
