Low sodium diet for my heart - which is shockingly hard to do. In the US at least, it seems like everything has added salt. It’s absurd how much salt is in a can of beans or soup. I do my best to stay away from premade or processed food.
The saddest thing is that I don’t salt my meals when I cook, at least not really. I love to cook but that really hampers the taste in many many things.
There is interesting published research on the benefits of salt. Salt isn’t the hypertension boogyman it’s been built up to be, the real hypertension culprit is the sugar and carbohydrates.

Yep it’s hard. I cook from scratch and avoid salt… I try to compensate with heavy flavours like curry spices, oregano etc. You get used to it
