If my blog and I were
transported back in time, and you, Dear Reader, were an Ancient Roman, then I might well say to you, "Cave salem!" thus
giving you a bit of advice to improve your health. Though of course, as an
Ancient Roman, you would not be particularly in need of that bit of advice...(o:
But in our present-day culture, and speaking in English, I say, "Beware of
salt!" and that is a very necessary warning for most people, because there is
way too much added salt in our modern diets. The Food Industry ladles a great deal
of salt into the ready meals and other processed food products it manufactures. -
Excessive salt intake may well be contributing to your weight problem, or to
your high blood pressure and breathlessness. It may well have been the main factor in the stroke or
heart attack you had or any/all of the chronic ill-health you suffer. - Be
that as it may, if you cut down on the amount of salt and salty food you eat,
you will feel ever so much better, have more energy and think more clearly. Give
it a try! - Read about salt in food.
