[Diabetes-talk] Heart attack

[Mike Freeman]

Bridgit:

I confess to wondering what people who maintain that other seasonings will
substitute for salt are smoking and where I can get some! But I agree that
all of us tend to use far too much salt and that one gets used to not using
it although mashed potatos need some and corn on the cob with a bit of
butter and salt is better than plain corn on the cob.

I also remain unconvinced that sea salt is better than any other and figure
it's just another way for the "natural" or "organic" freaks to fleece the
rest of us! (grin) But then I don't cotton to omega fatty acids having
benefits, either.

Different strokes ...

Mike Freeman

Is it really that difficult to find seasonings to replace salt? I mean,
there's tons of seasonings you can use out there. I rarely use salt at home,
opting for a variety of seasonings like garlic, cumin, rosemary, oregano,
curry, Italian seasoning... And with spicey ones, just a pinch won't add
spice but just flavor. It's about experimenting with different seasonings
and how much to add. That's what it will come down to. But it's relatively
simple: Go into your local market, check out what's in the seasoning aisle,
or better, use fresh if possible. Research ahead of time if you like, but
you will have to discover what you like and how much of it you like by trial
and error.

And when you use salt, use sea salt, and not the run of the mill, Morton's
sea salt but real, fresh sea salt. It's much better for you and actually has
health benefits. I only use table salt for baking that requires it, like
cookies.

To find info about low-salt foods and use of spieces, why not phone up
several deli restaurants in your city that offer healthy foods on their
menus.  Ask them where to find specialized foods and what5 spices they use
to replace salt and sugar4s, etc.

But find out their open hours and call first thing, before they get real

busy.  People like to brag about how they know how to do things better. 
Good luck.  Share with us what you find out.  --  Bill Lewis

Hi folks
Wanted to share that I had a heart attack, was asked not to go to convention
this year. They thought it might be to much for me. I have two stints put in
and had three blocked arteries 90 percent. I can walk around the park one
time. this happened two weeks ago. what angers me, is everyone thinks it was
the bad foods I ate and they need to teach me how to eat. this isn't true,
this comes from the family. They looked at my cholesteral where the bad is
66. They tell you no salt and walk away.
Well I need to be guided, hoping to get into an exercising program over at
the clinic as soon as I can. Then I will learn more. Want to do a turkey
breast in the crock pot. I have done this forever, don't know what seasoning
I can use to have flavor.
Don't care for bland meats.
I have a small bit of misses dash with garlic and such.
It is hard to find anything with out salt.
Just wanted to share.
Have a happy convention.
