What are the side effects of adding salt to cooked meals?

Salt can cause water retention to the body that also can cause complications to already ailing body. Salt is one of the basic ingredients in oral rehydration solution use to treat dehydrated children and athletes. Too much salt intake and high fat diet can cause hardening of the arteries,that eventually lead to hypertension and heart deasease.

Stones in the gall bladder and in the kidneys are also said to be caused by salt. You can cutback your salt intake by replacing it with herbs and/spices and other seasonings that are now easily accesible thru local markets and specialty stores. You can also try other country's cuisine,there are those that uses low or nothing at all.

Yet very tasty. Chinese, Thai cooking are very rich in flavors and spices . Mediterranian is considered as healthy cuisine.

I've been hearing more an more on this topic recently. The most immediate side effect is that it tastes more salty. :P But long term?

My father, over ten years ago, was told to cut back on the amount of salt in his meal from his doctor, but this was in response to specific health conditions. It's true that too much of anything can be bad for you. But I also believe that some of the recent talk about banning salt is taking things too far.

After all, I don't think salt in your diet is nearly as bad as all the artificial stuff that goes into processed food, and other things of that nature.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
