salty

[Guest guest]

Inthe past and in many older mb books one may have to take the salt

suggestions with a grain of salt! LOL

yes salt was overused in the past in mb however these days the swing to

the other side - undersalting has become aparent

pure hand harvested sun dried unrefined sea salt (a very good one is

now available at www.cybermacro.com) which is fully mineralised is

vital for health.

it is one of the things that sets mb apart in its true understanding of

health. it is the key to maintaining vital blood quality which governs

all health and mental processes.

the modern campaign against salt is only partially correct and id true

if people are eating processed (even supposedly health food quality

processed) foods and also the flavour enhancing stuff in them -

including supposedly natural flavours which are not natural)

we need good quality salt to activate digestion and all the hormonal

and neural functions of the body.

all in moderation and cooked into food - then it has a different

effect. never add salt after cooking - that stresses the idneys and

causes problems

Hi Shen,

Yes, I like that expression and try to remind myself when I'm craving

something. But, what about when I was pregnant and craving those

yummy chocolate turtles or whatever they are called?

I am sure Ilanit will have some suggestions, she's a genius.

and I'd rather not do diuretics or blockers. I know I feel better and

cooler and less stressed when my diet is essentially macrobiotic; but,

can anyone suggest a substitute for all that salt....? Ume (salty),

shoyu (too salty), sea veggies (salty). I crave salty and there an old

saying "we crave what kills us". I did find a substitute recipe on the

web for shoyu but, it was based on beef bouillon........help!
