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.

I noticed in the past year I use a bit more than in the past.   I'm
thinking my taste buds are not as sharp as they once were.  My BP is
still good and I stay hydrated.

My son's doctor said for him to use salt, his sodium is always low.

My dentist said that I had a lot of taste buds on my tongue. He said
he's seen some tongues that are completely smooth. That must look pretty
weird.
