The good thing is when you go grocery shopping the amount of salt is listed. When I started reading the labels, I was so surprised to see how much salt is in foods.

I try to eat foods that are not processed and if I want seasonings, I'll use fresh herbs. We are blessed with basil, lemons, oregano, cilantro, etc. Nature has provided us with such wonderful flavors.

Hello, @adr

Thanks to your mentioning Amlodipine, I've since talked to my primary, and she has advised I stop taking Amlodipine, at least for a term, and instead double what I take of Losartan; also, to monitor my blood pressure and report back to her in a week or two.

You're so right about salt being in almost everything! I'm lucky: my partner is a great cook––from scratch, all natural ingredients––and neither of us eats processed foods. I became a careful reader of ingredients labels way back in 1976 when I read William Dufty's "Sugar Blues." Back then the shock was seeing how much refined sugar was in almost everything on the supermarket shelves.
