It has been said that an excess of salt in our diets is one of the major causes of high blood pressure. According to some statistics we are consuming 10 times as much salt as we actually need. While cooking we add salt & once the food is on the table we add salt again. Salt tastes good, adds taste to everything we eat, & for some, salt is an absolute essential. Doctors say that we can live without that much salt.
Eating healthy & eating regularly as well as exercising & getting enough sleep, are all basic essentials in order to achieve good health.
A while ago, the author, decided to pay a little more attention to his eating habits & purchased a book. The Low Salt Cookery Pocketbook & it is great! A good guide is an essential element in eating healthier & this book has proven itself to me!
Some suggestions for Breakfast are: Sunflower Rolls, Brioche, Crunchy Granola, Stuffed Mushrooms, Granola Bars, Quick Wholewheat Cob, Muesli Bread, Caribbean Grapefruit, & Kedgeree. And the book provides lots of exciting recipes for preparing these foods.
Snacks & Light Meals don't have to be boring & tasteless either with food like: Creamy Onion Soup, Digestive Biscuits, Danish Cherry Soup, Vegetable Stock, Farmhouse Eggs, Herbed Pancakes, Stuffed Peppers. The lists are endless & having prepared recipes handy really helps a lot!
Starters & Salads, Fish, Poultry & Game, all can be prepared by tryed & proven recipes from the book! Eating can be just as interesting with less salt & perhaps much more healthier too!
Cooking smarter means cooking a lot more healthy food & choosing wisely what to eat.
Shop around & pick up a good book to help you with this project. It will pay for itself before you are through & provide you with lots of info! Yes, we can live with a lot less salt & have fun doing it too!
