I love salt. Like love love salt. I put it on basically everything. I often crave foods just for the salt (I drink pickle juice), I have been like this ever since I was little. I put salt on my food before I even taste it, some people say that's rude but I know that the food never has enough salt so why even try it? If there is no salt to me it just tastes bland. I feel the same about salt as some people feel about their seasonings I have to have it.
I realize there are salt deficiencies and I probably have that but it is not something I have really looked into or mentioned to my doctors. And before you go saying my cholesterol is high or my blood pressure must be through the roof, its not. I go to the doctor a lot and have tons of labs done and was recently even told by my doctor that I could use more salt. How I could possibly need more salt than what I already take in? Who knows but I was not about to argue with her on that!
I have noticed that even my kids like salty things. There are some foods that I make them that they don't really care for until salt is on it. Tyler loves all the salty foods more than the sweet ones, it is just something I think he got from me. Of course I really try not to put salt on their food because Mike had high blood pressure as a kid and I don't want to risk my kids having that so if I put any it is a dash of salt. I don't want to chance my kids being unhealthy but I just happen to notice what they like.
Maybe one day I will remember to ask my doctor and we can check out if I have some type of salt deficiency but until then I will happily cover my food with salt! :)
