I was depriving myself of salt.

Yesterday I gave in to a craving and bought a bag of popcorn. All of a sudden I felt so much better. I never added salt to food and avoided salty food. My friends said don't eat canned soup. It has too much salt. When I worked in a lab we provided salt tablets to those who worked outside. That is not me. I did not take into account that I am on a diauretic. I need to replenish my salt! Why did it take me so long to wake up? They said it would retain fluid and make my legs swell. We shall see. But I do feel better.

If it causes fluid the diuretic will take care of that. I think our bodies have to have a certain amount of sodium to function. I think they can do bloodwork to check for you.

That is kind of sychronistic with what I did this morning. For about 8 years I haven't ate sugar...at all if possible. This morning I was feeling poorly so I decided to mix a teaspoonful of sugar to my coffee. I am kind of glad it didn't work that well, otherwise I would probably be on my way to gaining 30 lbs.

Sometimes in the afternoon I’ll have a crash. Salty foods get me back on track.

Our bodies need salt. To do without can be fatal. Used in moderation, there is no harm. Finally, the medical community has opened its eyes. About several other things as well. It makes one wonder what they are not teaching in med schools these days.
