Hi Everybody, Debbie Benson here...
This is where I can tell you about what I know, what I have found out, and here I can also rant a bit.
Since I was a little girl I have been aware of sodium, both high and low levels, as you learned in my first Season-It Newsletter 3 Tips That Help A Low Sodium Diet. Starting Benson's Gourmet Seasonings has been a dream come true.
As I learn and find helpful information, tips, products, recipes, and websites, I will share the information with you here. Then, you can follow-up and do your own research and make your own, more informed decisions regarding your health, or the health of a loved one. Knowledge helps you and gives you the power to make better decisions.
It's not just about what you don't do or can't have. It's also about things you can or should do or add to your diet that can make a difference. Here we go...

One of the best ways to lower your blood pressure naturally, is to increase your potassium to about 4700 mg daily. This is about double the suggested daily sodium intake of about 2000 mg.
Potassium is found in low or high amounts in just about everything we eat. and higher in fruits, some vegetables like potatoes, legumes (beans), nuts, seeds, dairy, meats including fish, molasses and chocolate.
