hi all,
I am 6 months pregnant and i developed preeclamsia ( high blood pressure) My doc adviced me to reduce salt intake. But since i am used to that taste reducing it is giving me hard time
I tried lemon it worked but friend said that too much lemon is acidic and could spoil my gums and change its colour
Do you guys know any alternates for salt which can give similar taste of salt.
Plz help needed urgently well wisher replied. Dear Ruby,
You just have 3 more months to pass, why do u want to risk anything by being so fussy? Lemon juice is definately that good an option becoz it can also cause acidity in you.
Eat healthy foods like salads,fruits & fruit juices. Exercise,read good books and listen to calm music to relax yourself.
I know this is not the answer you are looking for but preclampsia is a serious thing and you dont want to look back and repent that wish you had some patience.
This is not just about salt intake and getting irritated. It is about life of 2 people, you and your baby.
And you also want your baby to be healthy when born and 3 more months is a small price to pay for all that.
People develop gestational diabetes when they have to be away from sugar and natural sugar like fruits etc and it is so hard for them to eat anything plus take injections every day.
Take care & be careful.
