For those who have to watch ther salt intake because of health reasons,
High blood pressure, Kidney disease, etc. be careful of what meats you buy.
Most if not all meats at Wal**rt have added solution which is another way of
saying , "added salt".
The same goes for any pork that is labeled as one of those TENDER varities.
Thats salt too.
Any meat that is labeled with added solution is probably loaded with salt,
ham being the worst offender.

We buy our meat from a small independant grocery store that has "no added
solution". These mom and pop stores are getting harder to find.

For health reasons we all need less salty meats.IMHO

Not really:

What we all need is a good hour a day of cardiovascular exercise, enough to
break a sweat. That will easily take care of any oversupply of salt, and
lower
blood pressure better than diet changes.

Would you rather go through life denying yourself all the fun things to
eat just so you can avoid exercising? Heck - bring on the sugar, ice cream,
whole milk, real butter, 20% hamburger! Run it off!! Your heart will
love you for it! ;-)

What a load of %#$#$%#^. Look up Jim Fixx.

He claimed a lot less, but in the end died of blocked cardiac arteries.

Ted,
My husband hAS to have less salt with his chronic kidney disease so he wont
someday have to be on dialysis or a kidney transplant list. He gets plenty
cardiovascular exercise.

We are doing fine since we have adjusted our diets to eat less, salt, sugar,
fats, fast foods, etc.

Thats anothe reason why I home preserve our foods and have an organic
garden.

From the above link:

"...Fixx died at the age of 52 of a massive heart attack..."

"...Fixx came from a family where the men had poor health histories. His
father suffered a heart attack at the age of 35 and died of one at 42..."

Seems to me like the running added a decade to his life.

I presume Jim didn't have regular checkups with a cardiologist after age 30,
which
today anyone who's father had a heart attack at age 35 would have been
advised to
do.

The most common causes of CKD are diabetes or high blood pressure.
And the most common causes of those are related to exercise and to a
lesser extent, diet.

The point I was making is that people almost always PREFER to believe
that diet changes will cure health problems, RATHER than increasing
exercise. And I fully understand this because doing exercise right consumes
a LOT of time, PARTICULARLY doing cardiovascular exercise right -
because to do it right you have to vary your workout to get all the muscle
groups, and most people don't like to do different types of cardio exercise.
They may prefer walking or running but that's it, they won't do other
kinds. Diet changes by contrast seem so easy to do.

Of course, BOTH eating right and exercising are the best. BUT, if you
will only do one or the other, you will be a lot healthier doing a complete
exercise regemen and eating badly, than heating healthy and not exercising.
My objection is the line in your post about how we all need to eat better,
and you ignored the exercise part of it. Yes, we need to eat better. But,
we need to exercise better far, far more than eating better.

When were you ever in a doctors office and had them tell you to cut
your salt intake by such and such milligrams? Probably a lot, huh?
But I'll bet you have never been told by a doctor you have to go swimming
4 times a week and do a minimum of 1 hour of at least 50 laps. Doctors
are great for saying you have to exercise more in general terms, but they
rarely put it in specific terms. It's just a reflection of most people's
attitudes,
they don't really want to do the exercise.
