Q: I’ve been trying to eat healthy but I tend to salt a lot of the so-called “healthy” foods to give them more taste. Is this bad?
A: Most likely, unless you’re still able to keep your sodium intake under 1500 mgs per day, the American heart Association’s recommended daily sodium intake. Keep in mind there is more than that in just ¾ of a teaspoon of salt. Instead of salting your food try adding flavor to your foods with spices such as cinnamon, garlic, ginger or pepper. It will do your heart some good and will prevent the bloating that is associated with high salt intake.
