Salt?

Question

How do you know if you are eating too much salt?

Answer

My blood pressure hasn't been high so far but my husband keeps griping at me because he says I eat too much salt

Answer

Depends if it is real salt - Himalayan/Celtic/sea salt, rather than refined salt that is just sodium chloride. The former is much better for you and helps normalise electrolytes, the latter will cause high BP, and water retention/swelling

Answer

You'll swell, most likely hands and feet.  At least that's how it is for me.

Answer

Usually salt will affect your blood pressure negatively (meaning it's going to be higher). At one of my OB appointments, my blood pressure was a little high and my doctor said to watch my salt intake.
