At age 20 I decided to no longer add sugar or salt to foods and to avoid consuming saturated fats. This was based on news reports stating the overuse of these items in processed foods. I consider giving up sugar to be one of the best decisions I ever made and recommend it to you.

If you’re sweating a lot the salt equation really changes though. I got major cramps until I realized that.

Also I use salt liberally to make vegetables and other healthy food taste good. I figure it’s a net benefit.

Agreed...I have tried this and it has huge benefits.
