Note: My food plan, measurement wise, is the same but in February I found that I needed to restrict my fluid intake and increase my salt consumption. Ended up in the hospital for a few days and found out how important it was to have enough sodium in one’s blood. Trying to eat saltier food, per my doc, and taking three salt pills a day. Interesting enough my blood pressure hasn’t gone up; I have more energy now and feel a bit better. It took several months to get the salt level up to normal in my blood. Now that it is, I hope to keep it that way. Eating more rice cakes with salt, more processed meat that doesn’t have sugar or corn in it, and restricting fluid intake to no more than 64 oz. a day. Prior to that I was drinking 8 to 12 cups of water a day. Okay for most people but not for me.
