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.
