Salted apples?????

hi olivemai that could be the reason for doing this. Have a wonderful day.

Thank you! I love the taste of salt, as I was a salt person rather than a sugar person, but it affected my legs with pain and swelling, so I had to give up adding it to my fruit and other food!

hi olivemai, sounds familiar. I never was a salt person until I became diabetic in 2006. In fact I cooked almost without salt before. but now I tend to use more salt and my feet and ankles are swollen too......

I understand! I heard there is some relationship between salt and sugar affecting diabetics! It runs in my family too so I have been as careful as I can! It does not seem to be enough no matter what I try!

hmmmmm my friend, my hubby has to watch salt intake bec of blood pressure and such and thats the reason why we have diet salt and normal salt in our household.

It's good you are watching out for your husbands health.

I think that just like with other health issues, people will only change their lifestyle or diet if it affects them immediately! The problem with sodium for me, is that my legs begin to hurt almost immediately after eating anything with too much sodium! It is like iron and fluoride, a little is good but it is added to almost everything and is now way too easy to overdose on it! I think it is great that you do not have a lot of pain in your life, or you would have to figure out what is causing it, like the rest of us!

hi Cats we only have this sort of diet salt which is super expensive. I bought it fot hubby nevertheless and use it in salads and such when I cook for him. Maybe I find something similar in the bigger supermarkets around here. I am sure you have a nice day with that great update on yours giving wings to you......

At first, I tried this as my mom was using it for my dad! But I discovered that it is not really that much better than regular salt, and whenever possible, I substitute other spices or flavors for the salt! You will barely miss it!

hi olivemai that was how I cooked before becoming diabetic. But somehow I seem to crave and need more salt now. My doctor said its all in the head but I dont believe him.

What??? It removes headaches? I will try that when I have headaches next time and keep this in my mind.
Have a wonderful day and thanks for responding.

hi Oreo and thanks for answering, I have tried it and love it as well.
BTW have you read Cats new update? its sooo encouraging.
have a wonderful blessed day. How are your portions working? you are brave........hugs from me to you.

No, I've not seen her update yet.. I hope to get to it soon. The portions are going good. I had one of my procedures today and I'm kind of out of it. Had the colonoscopy and am loopy from all the drugs they gave me in the IV.

hi mcat sorry to hear this, fortunately I dont have food allergies/as long as you dont count diabetes as an allergy to sugars or wrong carbs.......... so I can imagine it is not easy.

hi and thanks I have tried it and liked it so far. And salt in radishes is a must have here. You remind me I wanted to fix some salad for our late dinner. I slept too long this afternoon bec of that herniated disc and now it means hurry up in the kitchen. lol.

that was a fast response back! and your very welcome.

The old radish trick! It is hard to resist using salt on radishes. Just remember, that one day's worth of sodium is about a teaspoon, and you can get most of that from frozen and canned foods! Check here for more details: http://www.sparkpeople.co...

ooops olivemai, I know that........ shame on me I should really be more careful.

And hi RLFin thats a lovely brand new avatar. Looks like holidays for you........

hi Cheryl I try to be careful because my husband has a bit high blood pressure too.........
