Actually, I am keeping my sodium well below the 1500 mark. My problem is really cooking for my husband and eating some of the food that I cook for him.

And don't ever believe something isn't processed. They had to process it some to get the dirt and debria out of it - they didn't just go to the beach, drain some water, put it in a bottle and send it to you. And I echo that their CANT be a low salt salt. They know they can claim it and if it comes to "natural" "no preservatives" "diet" "low sodium" someone will believe it and buy it. What I don't get is if all these "natural" companies leave something OUT, why do they charge more for their products - I mean it supposedly has less, doesn't it. They sell it for more because they know we believe their word hook line and sinker with questioning it, or they are covering alot more processing or materials than they claim

You're kind of right. Women have MORE heart attacks after age 55, but not more than men. The assumption and good evidence is it's due to the decreased estrogen, but there is also a factor that SOB and fatigue are the more presenting symptoms of an MI in women, and pain is one of the least - so they don't recognize it because they expect pain - until it's too late when they realize it. So It's not all hormones. But between men and women It's nearly even yet overall it is men over women. And testosterone, too high and too low appears to be independent risk factors for heart attacks, so women do not have the copyright on "hormones".

Only our society is very stereotyped about men and the only thing they see mens hormones good for is sex and as we age viagra is the thought, Nothing else, like depression, heart attacks, fatigue, loss of muscle mass, etc.........that go with low T

Remember MEN HAVE HORMONES TOO. If the heart attacks are predominantly hormone based in women, what is it we think it are risk factors in men?

I am taking in less than 1500 mg of sodium.There are certain things I cook that don't taste so good without the added salt. For instance, boiled potatoes taste awful if you don't put just a little salt in the water. I am not sure how much of the sodium gets absorbed into the potatoes, but it does make a huge difference in the taste of the spuds. Adding salt to the potatoes while on the plate does not work. I would like to know what others do in this regard.My husband does not have a high salt intake but I don't think I should expect him to strictly adhere to my diet if he doesn't have a problem with the amount of salt in his diet.> > > I was just reading a health book and a Dr. said that low sodium sea salt was greatly reduced in sodium by 68%.

The DASH diet isn't one way fits all - everyone has to adjust it to their needs.
