eat less salt to lower high blood pressure

I'm sure you've heard you should eat less salt to lower a high blood pressure. Most of you who reads this probably don't have a high blood pressure - but eating lots of salt can cause this, plus getting a stroke, heart disease or even stomach cancer. The average person eats much, much more salt on a day than he should.

In most dishes there is already salt added - especially in restaurants - this is more than enough. I know salt makes the food tastier - but if you try without it a couple of times you can get use to use less or not at all.

didn't use extra salt in my food until I reached the age of 17 or so. My brother introduced me to this "health" salt... I wish he wouldn't... These days I use it very little, mostly not at all. Just like I got used to the taste with salt, I am getting used again to eat food without salt.Keep in mind that the consequences of adding extra salt every now and then might not show up tomorrow, or next year or in five years. But it probably will in 10 or 20 years from now.

healthy is the water you drink?

What's healthier than water?But do you drink it as often as you should?You should drink water throughout the whole day.

If you can afford, choose bottled mineral water without carbonate over tap water.
But keep in mind that tap water is better than mineral water with carbonate as carbonate can thicken arteries, not to mention making your overall pH level in your body sour.A tip would be that the first thing you do in the morning is to drink half a glass of water. This helps the stomach to get started for breakfast.
I recently read "The Hidden Messages in Water" by Masaru Emoto. It mixes science with belief and in it are photographs of water chrystals exposed to different type of things.
It turns out that water chrystals that are exposed to positive words such as Love and Thank You are formed beautifully, while water that was exposed to negative words such as Idiot made the chrystals deformed or not formed at all.


The water chrystal to the right in the first picture was exposed to Beethoven. The one below it to heavy metal music.
