LOWER SODIUM DIETS/FOODS
Dave T:
I'm in this crowd. Had a double by-pass done in 2010 and like most of us older pharts I weigh more than I'm supposed to. Recently I learned I have vein problems in my lower legs too. The recommend low salt eating. I've put away the salt shaker and started reading labels and menus more carefully.
Back in 2010 my wife decided we should get away from processed foods and preservatives. We don't buy much of anything in boxes or mixes anymore. We eat grass-fed beef and have discovered buffalo as an even leaner alternative. When I can afford it we buy range grazed, no feed lot buffalo from a ranch in South Dakota. Great stuff. We had 6oz buffalo sirloins for Sunday dinner. Excellent!

Plus to Mog and Dave
grass fed cattle, buffalo meat, turkey meat.
Mog - check out coconut- minos, esp the teriyaki flavor. Much lower in salt as well as no soy.

Hi Prof. Yep, I have a bottle in the fridge. Great stuff and use it to make a whole lot of home stir fry. Still love good restaurant egg rolls though. I spent 6 years getting shots and now soybeans at least won't kill me straight off. Touch and go when I was first diagnosed. I still avoid it and can definitely tell when I get a healthy dose, as the throat still wants to close up.
I grew up with us raising most everything we ate. I still do a load of preparation, down to making own pizza crusts 99% of the time. I make my own mustard, and truthfully I find that to be one of the most in your face taste differences from off the shelf prepared. The other is sausage. I make a nice lean chicken breakfast sausage and really do not miss store sausage except for the once or twice a year I make biscuits and gravy.
I pretty much do most of the cooking at home and it is a lot of prep, but when I travel for work or am away on a shoot, my wife appreciates the cooking when I get home.

Hi
Born in the Early 1960's, when I was in Grade School, Dad's blood pressure was measured at 300/200, obviously a bit high both in count and accuracy. His chubby doctor told him to quit smoking (Dad didn't, his doctor did), and lose weight (Dad was taller and skinnier). He also told him to give up the salt, so he did and I did. The ONLY thing I salt is Sonic Tater Tots. Dad made 92 after a 4 or 5 way bypass in early 1984 as week from being 65. Mom was much younger, but had congestive heart failure at 80 years old and was told to cut off the salt. Couldn't stand the food. Got her off it for a couple of months, went out for pizza and it was TOO SALTY. Mom made 82.
