I have a different perspective for you though. I am guessing you are logging your food on just an everyday dieters site where the "reds" and "greens" are based on average people. Check out CoolRunning on facebook, which links articles from Active.com. The other day there was a FAQ about food, sodium, etc. for athletes. You may have a difficult time referring to yourself as an "athlete", but if you are running half marathons, I would say it is a safe bet. Even if not, we would certainly fall into "exhaustive exercisers", and some of the dieting go tos like low carb and low sodium just change as your body composition changes. In short, your body may need the sodium so let it go if everything else is working.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008268770996987481.post-78797086357419366562010-10-20T21:41:06.579-05:002010-10-20T21:41:06.579-05:00As someone who does have to deal with high blood p...As someone who does have to deal with high blood pressure thanks to my PCOS. I've been eating a low sodium diet for a couple of years. Mainly I follow Dr. Oz. Though I would say on many recipes I always omit the salt. Also switched to frozen foods over canned. Frozen veggies and fruits tend to have less sodium than canned foods. If I have to resort to canned then I look for reduced sodium on the label. Especially with beans, of course once they are rinsed most of the sodium gets rinsed off. I'd say start with small steps, like seeing where you can cut out the sodium in recipes and go from there, i.e. look for reduced sodium or unsalted options of the foods you already buy. There are lots of options out there. I also replaced my yogurt(something I LOVE) with Greek yogurt. It has less sodium and calories with more protein. Amazing how just a few small changes can make a big difference. Honestly though I am no expert :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
