Use the Flavor of Spices


If you follow the recommendations of the DASH diet, you realize the importance of reducing salt in your diet. Today, celebrates the premise of this diet. Welcome to National More Herbs, Less Salt Day!

We often use salt to enhance flavor. However, herbs can accomplish the same purpose. The problem with salt is a matter of balance. Your body will attempt to create the same concentration of solutes and solution in your body fluids as is in your blood.

If you consume a lot of salt, your body will retain more water and thus increase the volume of your blood. The more blood your circulatory system works with, the more it will have to work, thus increasing blood pressure. The concept then of finding ways to replace salt is a valid one.

Take this day as an opportunity to explore your cooking realm. Fresh spices add different nuances to your cooking that may be preferable to salt. Use today as an excuse to give it a try.
