Born with a hole in my heart and atrial fib I was on a no salt diet until I turned 18. Of course after 18 years of no salt, this teen went crazy with it. I salted everything that I thought needed it. Now after three pregnancies (the last nearly killed me) my heart issues have resurfaced. Forcing me yet again to drastically reduce my salt intake.
Mr. Right has a family history of high cholesterol , blood pressure, and congestive heart failure. And since I love that man to pieces, I want to make sure he eats healthy and reduces his chances of having issues later in life.
The best way to make your food flavorful without using salt is through lots of spices. You could make your own but as a mom I don't have time to figure out what spice goes well with which dish and frankly not enough room in my spice cabinet either. Enter Mrs. Dash.
Mrs. Dash has fourteen flavorful seasonings to go with just about any dish. I think at the moment I have been using the Italian the most but the other day I did happen to use the Fiesta Lime with some chicken burritos that was awesome too! Each blend is packed full of flavor. I never thought that giving up salt would be so easy!
After 2 1/2 weeks of no salt I feel better. The heart racing and palpation's have lessened, and the swelling in my feet have disappeared. My meals are still delicious if not more so. Throughout the next year I will be trying out all the flavors. I'll let ya know how it goes!
Disclaimer: I wrote this review while participating in a campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Mrs. Dash and received a gift certificate to thank me for taking the time to participate.
