Oh my gosh, this has been a bad, bad week for the salt.
I like to have stuff at work, so I don't have to go out to eat and be tempted by the Jack in the Box Grilled Sourdough with Curly Fries (ouch, ouch, ouch!).
But I've been trying to pay close attention to my salt intake, since I bloat up like a pig.
Dang! Do they put salt in everything? I can hardly buy a can of dang soup without it having a bunch of salt in it!
According to the USDA guidelines, I shouldn't eat more than 2,400mg of sodium (salt) a day. Oh my gosh, if I ate that much sodium, I wouldn't be able to bend my fingers, I'd be so bloated!
I'm trying to limit my (known) sodium intake to half that amount.
It's hard!
I feel for people who have high blood pressure and other conditions. I'm just trying to keep the sodium down to avoid bloat. The poor folks who have serious health conditions, oh my, how do they manage??
So, anyway, the goal is to keep the daily sodium count down.
Sigh. I'm doing the best I can...
