Hello everyone,
I have some health problem, so I want to reduce cutdown salt from my daily food, but without lossing its taste.If anyone knows replcement food item for salt which contains magnesiam rather than sodiam, please do tell me.
Thanks. swati replied. Hi Ashwini,
You can get coconut water in Tesco(in fruit juice section). But ask doctor before it use. raj replied. I' d go with Saheli.The best way is to reduce the salt yu use in your cooking very gradually.When you are cooking( i assume you cook at your home),take out the usual qty of salt you' d add to a dish,stop short and add 3/4 of it for a week,then go to half,nobody notices the difference.There is LONA brand name salt which has less sodium,but I' m curious why do u want to replace sodium with magnesium inyour diet?
Usually sodium is required to be replaced with potassium which you can do easily by drinking fresh tender coconut water daily.it has high potassium,zero calories(well,almost)and competes with sodium in cellular osmosis and thus reduces sodium absorption in the body.
Raj. Saheli replied. There are salts available in market which are low in sodium and are meant for BP patients etc. You can ask chemist. Please check with your doctor before consuming anything like that.

Best option is to slowly reduce salt from food. It really works, you wont even feel it. We had to do that for my MIL' s BP problem and now whole family' s salt consumption has reduced.
