salt and diet

I have some recent experience. I find it easy to leave the salt out in food preparation. Vinager or lemon serve as effective substitutes as do various other herbs. It is addictive. Some leads easily to more.
The salt restriction here is medical. The treatment seems to be working.

There is a method I have read of. In west Africa salt is expensive as a governmental monopoly. It is also good to restrict it to limit sweating. The locals do not apply it to food but rather put a very small quantity on the back of a hand and lick it during the meal. This loads the taste sensors without loading the food.

I will try this. I know that a small quantity at the table works better than a much larger dose at the stove.
