Fresh herbs add amazing flavors to spaghetti sauce, soups, stews, and salads. Every time you cook, grab a handful, chop it up and add to your food. Every week, buy a bunch of parsley put it in a cup of water on your kitchen counter. Use fresh herbs to flavor your cooking.Just by reading labels, you can save over 400 mg of sodium in 2 tablespoons of salad dressing. Every time you grocery shop, set yourself a goal of finding just one lower salt food to substitute for your regular choices. The longer you can keep it, the more likely it is high in sodium. Highly processed foods in cans, frozen packaging and boxes are usually high in salt.
If your microwaveable meal has about 600 calories, and about 600 mg of sodium, ( a ratio of about 1 to 1), that is a well-balanced food compared to a can of soup, with 90 calories, and 900 milligrams of sodium, which is about 10 to 1 ratio. Food should have about the same amount of sodium as calories. Tips to help you limit your sodium intake, so you won’t feel thirsty Usually one ice cube tray holds about 2 cups of fluid. Ice is about half water by volume and it is often more satisfying than the same amount of water, because it stays in your mouth longer. Measure out part of your fluid allowances as ice cubes and store in a special container in your freezer.Check the package of ice cream bars, popsicles, soft drinks, beer, etc., and see how many ounces they contain.Try a cup of espresso or strong coffee after meals for the same “lift” without the large volume.Swallow your pills along with food from your meals or with soft food such as applesauce or oatmeal.Try using special dry-mouth toothpaste, mouth wash or artificial saliva.It will be softer and easier to chew than regular ice cubes. Freeze fruit juice or lemonade in an ice cube tray and use it as part of your fluid.Try frozen grapes, blueberries or strawberries. Eat frozen fruits between meals instead of drinking fluids.Use lemon wedges, hard sour candies, breath mints, thirst-quenching gum or breath spray to moisten your mouth.Count anything that melts at room temperature as fluid ice, popsicles, icecream, soup, and jello all count as fluid.Measure your drinking cups, mugs and glasses to see how many ounces of fluid they really hold.So the real trick to keeping your fluid gains manageable, so that you don’t have cramping, blood pressure drops and feel badly during and after your treatment, is to limit your sodium intake to about 1,500 mg a day. It is hard, almost impossible to limit fluid when you eat foods that are high in sodium. The more foods high in salt or sodium you eat, the thirstier you will be.
#Water water everywhere and not a drop to drink plus#
In the light of all the data pointing to the need for healthy hydration, is it not fair then to repackage the festivals -that involve waterless fasting, to simply fasting? Yes, I know, nobody dies (we hope) in the absence of water for around ten plus hours? However, why, I ask, even do something so unscientific? Who are we trying to prove, and what, and why? Why should we create celebrations for someone’s longevity, at the cost of the other person’s basic convenience? If this is how many mothers did it in the past, it is only right to ask to modulate it now for the daughters.Salt makes you thirsty. In fact, even in the Muslim fasting during Ramadan pregnant women are exempt from waterless fasting, primarily because the significance of water can never be overstated. Water, that universal solvent, that ultimate elixir which comprises approximately 71% of earth and about similar amount of human body by weight! Water in, correct quantities, is required for the proper functioning of kidneys, liver, blood pressure, etc. Yet, no detox science requires giving up consumption of water. Fasting, and intermittent fasting, has emphatically been proven as the best detox mechanism, particularly for majority of us in modern lifestyles surrounded by abundance of food, and of opportunities to consume food. Except, I do wish to question and provoke a thought about the dehydration involved in the festival.
