Copyright Description Why you might want to watch your salt intake, even if you don’t have high blood pressure. Nutrition Diva nutrition diva @Leigh I have a couple of blog posts on that topic over on my NutritionData.com blog. http://blog.nutritiondata.com/ndblog/2009/03/sodium-and-pota.html http://blog.nutritiondata.com/ndblog/2009/08/how-much-potassium-do-you-need.html http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/sodium-high.aspx?commentid=19985#Comments http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/sodium-high.aspx?commentid=19985#Comments Mon, 19 Oct 2009 14:29:29 GMT Leigh nutrition diva Hi Monica! I love salt, and I've never worried about my sodium intake much since I've never had an issue with my blood pressure. However, I'm starting to think about it more as I get older since I know my mom has had high blood pressure at times. Anyway, I read somewhere that the balance of sodium with potassium in your diet is more important than the sheer amount of sodium. I've just starting using a potassium chloride salt substitute in some of my cooking, and I'm wondering if it's true that getting more potassium means I don't need to reduce sodium as much? Either way I am using less sodium overall, so I know it's still a good thing.
