Morton's Lite Salt, if I remember correctly, is a blend of potassium
chloride and sodium chloride. Is it because you need less sodium in your
diet?

No, I started using it when it first came on the market
decades ago.  But my doctor is pleased with my b/p.

 I don't add much salt to foods but when I do it will be with the grinder, not from a shaker.  The cardiac dietitian told me me cut back on salt. My GP says to avoid adding it. FWIW worth I monitor my BP and check it every 2-3 days.The highest it has been in the last month is 117/81.  One time last year I went to the pharmacy for a flue shot and had to wait a few minutes so I sat down at the machine to check my BP. He came out to get me for the shot and waited until the reading came up. He told me I had the blood pressure of an teenager.

Fortunately, my BP is nearly always on target (120/80).
