My doc suggests not eating s whole lot of salt, as it is dangerous for my heart condition and well being! |
I am very fond of Chinese food, but it is not a cheap option for takeaway food here, so it is pretty rarely I get to eat it.
As for the salt, your Doc is spot on - but importantly, salt is something that you can lose from the diet and you will become accustomed to it and after a while won't miss it. I stopped putting salt on (or in) food years ago, and for a little while, things *seemed* a little less flavorsome, but before long at all, things seemed to just start tasting just as good, without the salt. If you are talking about something really bland, like straight steamed rice for example, then yes, it may always seem a bit bland without salt. But the trick there is to eat it as an accompaniment to something that has a lot of flavour (which is usually the done thing with steamed/boiled rice anyway).
