Ditch The Salt, Ditch The Pounds!
Hi There Buddies...
We all have our little eating habits that we know are
probably not the best thing for us and our health, and
eating too much sodium is one of them...guilty! Not only
does it make us retain water and gives us a false reading
on our scale, but it can also increase our blood pressure
and contribute to heart disease.
Of course some of us think everything tastes better with a
little salt on it...but there are certainly much better
choices out there that can keep our taste buds satisfied
and yearning for more.
Below are some healthy tips to help us ditch the salt
and ditch some pounds as well, compliments of Diet Bites
online.

How Reducing Salt Intake Generates Weight Loss & Improves
Level of Health!
Water Retention
At this moment you may be carrying around 3 pounds OR more
of false weight due to excess sodium intake. Excess sodium
in your daily diet encourages water retention. Think about
this: Our bodies are comprised chiefly of water and water
weighs heavily. Get rid of excess sodium in the diet and
you'll naturally get rid of 3 or more unwanted pounds while
achieving a higher level of health. As a note, it may take
the body a few days to release the pent-up water due to
sodium intake, so exercise patience while you're exercising
on reducing sodium intake.
Sodium-Packed Foods
Many foods containing a high sodium content also contain a
high fat content. Eliminating OR reducing these foods in
the daily diet will create a scene for natural weight loss.
Salty chips, salty crackers, salty nuts, salty pickles,
salty bacon, salty fast foods and so forth all contribute
to false weight when sodium content exceeds what your body
needs to function smoothly.

Sodium Culprits!
Sodium hides in the most unsuspecting places. Take steamed
shrimp which contains about 195 mg of sodium per 3 ounces.
Here is just a short list of foods containing high levels
of sodium. How many are in your daily diet? How might you
work towards stamping out or modifying your sodium intake
to the recommended level...?
* Cold breakfast cereals - a serving of Kellogg's Frosted
Flakes contains 150 mg of sodium. In comparison, a
serving of salty-tasting Lays Potato Chips contains only
180 mg of sodium.
* Pickled foods - 1 dill pickle contains about 800 mg of
sodium.
* Saltine crackers - contain about 140 mg of sodium -
possibly more depending upon the brand.
* 5 ounce cheeseburger - contains about 1,000 mg of sodium.
* Processed meats - one slice of deli ham may contain 500
or more mg of sodium.

Types of Salt!
Kosher Salt - a course-textured salt produced by using
methods approved under Orthodox Jewish Laws. Kosher salt
is generally rubbed on uncooked meats which works to absorb
blood within the meat while enhancing flavor. The crust
created by the large size of the salt works as a barrier to
lock-in the meat juices during the cooking process, as well
as in keeping the salt from being absorbed by the meat.
Sea Salt - the remains of evaporated sea water high in
sodium chloride. Because this variety of salt is rich,
flavors in foods can be accomplished with less salt. Other
elements of sea salt include: calcium, iron, potassium,
magnesium and zinc.
Common Table Salt - purified rock salt ripped of its
natural element iodine which may be added after the
refining process. Both iodized and non-iodized versions
of table salt can be found in abundance at the local
market in an assortment of grain size, from fine to
course. Look for enhanced versions of salt, such as
Morton's Fire Salts which can heat up your diet plan
when used in moderation.
Rock Salt - is usually used to freeze ice cream
concoctions. As a note, rock salt is unsuitable for foods
and has many uses other than an ice cream freezing agent,
such as melting accumulated snow and ice.
Recommended Methods When Opting Out of Salt!
> Rather than salt, reach for spices, lemon/lime - or any
citrus based natural fruits, and extracts.
> If you're attempting to reduce salt, doing so slowly
might work for you. Salt intake is a bit like butter and
sugar intake - the less you use, the less you'll want.

Did You Know ???
The USDA Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for Sodium
Intake equals no more than 2,400 milligrams of sodium per
day, which is just a tab more than a teaspoon of table
salt. Of course, body size and weight also play an
important element in the Sodium Factor, so 2,400
milligrams per day may be too much sodium for the
smaller than average individual.
Have a great week everyone !!!
