Good News with Salt POLL
On Saturday, I passed out and ended up in the ER. They were unsure what exactly happened and so I was referred to the cardiologist. He was gave my heart the all-clear 
and diagnosed with a syndrome that can be controlled with lifestyle changes. If those don't work, then I'll need medicine but we're hoping I won't need it. One of the things I need to start doing is eating more salt. Weird to hear that from a cardiologist, but it is worth a try to not pass out!
So, what is your favorite salty snacks? You get extra points for salty and healthy snacks!
Re: Good News with Salt POLL
My father-in-law recently passed out and they said it resulted from his sodium levels being too low as well.
what about pretzels?
My goodness, I'm glad that nothing major was wrong!
A few months ago I was reading in Consumer Reports about foods that were surprisingly high in salt. Two I can remember that aren't particulary unhealthy are cottage cheese and Ken's reduced fat Cesar dressing.
EA--I'm very glad that nothing major was wrong. You must have been scared!!
Unfortunately, I don't really look at sodium levels....so I don't really know what's high or low. Good luck though! (and in a pinch, apparently mustards are a good go-to. My DH uses mustard packets for cramping athletes.)
salted popcorn. soy sauce has lots of sodium in it.
Glad you are okay.
Glad everything was okay with your heart - how scary!
I love nuts, and how about canned soup? I love those Campbell's soup at hand soups but they always have sooo much sodium - even the 25% less sodium ones!
Wow, that sounds scary but hopefully the lifestyle changes do the trick.
I love salt (probably a little too much) & love salting my apples & watermelon slices. Also, peanuts, pretzels, pumpkin seeds, Pringles or popcorn 100 calorie packs, chex mix, and beef jerky.
