Salt of the earth
Its strange but I just don't know how much salt I am taking in.
I do not have any symptoms of too much nor to little so it must be about right.
With the reduction in processed food It must be less than it was.
My BP is just dandy.
We have a sea salt shaker/grinder and I add a little to boiled eggs when I take the top off. I also salt the water that most veggies are boiled in. Salt is also rubbed into pork skin to make it crackle.
I think that salt levels should take account of lifestyle - sportspeople might need more - very low salt levels could put people at risk if they lost fluid in an accident.
Although research is still a little contradictory I will go along with salt reduction lobby in moderation.
