Enjoying salt in your diet

Anyone around me for more than one meal knows I am a fan of salt. Addicted might be a better word. (My blood pressure is low, in case you were wondering. Salt is a necessary part of your diet. Those who say that reasonable amounts of salt are dangerous have been misled).

If you don't like salt, you may simply be eating the wrong stuff. Plain, old, iodized salt is just salty. There's little taste. But salt is not only good for you, it tastes good, too.

If you've never enjoyed salt, go to a natural foods store. Or even a large grocery. And check out their salt selection.

Check out kosher salt, which is salt in larger crystals. Or sea salt, harvested from various sea beds. And you can go from there. Enjoy the taste, as well as the health benefits.
