Good Health ??️‍♂️

Re-started doing 10 min tabatas after a few weeks of taking it easy. I'll start doing 2 a night next week and get it back to a 30min tabata a night by Valentines day.

 
saw the Cardiologist the other day, she’s happy wit my cholesterol count, but not my sodium & sugar levels… I need to get my salt intake levels to less than 2000 mg/ day… so adding extra salt to anything is out and counting the #’s on the nutritional label will be the norm now… 2000 mg = 1/2 teaspoons…. Skip the oyster sauce & salami… cellie…

Ya know what happens to CLAMS & CODFISH, wen ya salt em down… one stays hard on da hook longer, da other turns into Bacalla… cellie…

Cellie, NO DOUBT that a high salt diet is BAD for you and I applaud your vigilance. Let me 'splain the physiology involved...

  1. Sticking clams in a high salt brine, removes water in the clams through osmosis, and that's what makes them stay on the hook better.

  2. Bacala was a necessity in the days before refrigeration. The cod fillets are covered in layers of salt, which like the clams, causes all the water to leave the cod through osmosis. Since the flesh is now dried, it cannot spoil if kept dry and then you can ship those cod the Europeans caught in the New World back over to Europe.

  3. Circulatory issues caused by high sodium diet have 2 facets. The first is high blood pressure which is BAD. Here's a nice explanation of that:

    When it comes to heart health, a diet high in sodium is most commonly linked with an increased risk of high blood pressure. Too much sodium can increase fluid volume, causing water retention, which can place extra burden on your arteries and increase blood pressure in susceptible individuals. Blood pressure refers to the force placed against your arteries during and between heart beats. Having high blood pressure increases the risk of developing heart disease, according to the American Heart Association.

    When it comes to directly hardening your arteries, the jury is still out:

    There is no evidence that salt directly causes atherosclerosis. If you already have high blood pressure, however, a diet high in sodium may increase the risk of developing atherosclerosis. In an animal study, a high-salt diet promoted atherosclerosis in mice with existing blood vessel dysfunction. The excess salt increased oxidative stress, a condition in which your body is unable to keep up with the demand to neutralize free radicals -- unstable atoms that cause cell damage. These findings warrant further studies using humans. The results were published in the journal "Blood Pressure" in 2005.

Too Serious R7, besides that, check out da sodium in this CHICK FILA sandwich, over da top…+1650 mg… cellfish…

Check out the sodium on just about ANY fast food and they go off scale really quickly...

Sorry, but those 3 extra letters after my name is from studying Human Physiology so I take that stuff seriously...
 
If I salt clams it’s not in a brine, its smothered wit cheap table salt 100%… I know da history of Bacalla too and heavy rain heading ya way today… cellfish… ?
