I'm curious, what would you consider an appropriate food? I personally look for high fat/protein when picking my food, and the there isn't much reason to believe salt is bad for you.
- josefresco 8y agoMy diet is specifically about reducing inflammation. Low sugar, low salt, mostly plant based. There is much reason to believe salt is bad for you.
- natalyarostova 8y agoThat's cool, I mean definitely do what is best for you. I think there is a lot of room for self-discovery of our own optimal diets. The salt debate is one of those things where nutrition science can't seem to settle on it, depending on the survey.
- josefresco 8y agoHigh salt consumption is linked to high blood pressure, stroke, and cardiovascular disease. You're right in that there's some debate around salt, and what amount is the "right" amount. However, for people with auto immune diseases (like me) it's a valid concern. https://www.cdc.gov/features/sodium/index.html https://www.cdc.gov/features/sodium/index.html
- nickik 8y agoIf you have a specific disease its one thing but please do not advocate and claim what is healthy or not for most people based on that. Many vegi burgers that people would eat as replacements are far more unhealthy.
- astura 8y agoHow do you know if you have "inflammation" or not?
