Also.. The Best Sugar Substitute For Safe Flavor "and Why So".
Chances are high blood pressure is in your future..90% of seniors will have it. By age 50 most people's coronary arteries are narrowed by 50%..
While I discuss this on other posts, I want to list this as a separate post for sake of combination with what!
The best way to make a salt substitute I found in 35 years of search is to use seasoned low salt blends combined with a safe natural sweetener like Lohan for flavor.
The blends are like garlic salt or other seasoned salts but with reduced salt.
According to this Consumer Reports website go here for financial math mirth if you like! Most people who tested the flavor consistently believe that potassium based salt substitutes had most salt flavor.
However according to this Mayo Clinic site salt substitutes made with potassium are not viable for people with cardio the ones who need them the most. This includes the majority so it's not a major minority, including people with blood glucose issues because most of them have cardio problems.
By my experience not a single salt substitute (other than the limited potassium based brands) I ever saw on any website was better than this method at any rate about flavor.
My Solution
As your body needs salt anyhow the trick here is to cut it way down with the herbs and use a small amount of salt for flavor.
Using a lower salt herbal salt blend can be lowered in salt even more with real good flavor if you add a sweetener to it like Splenda Lohan sweetener (the brand most recommended by doctors for safety and health) which is just $7 a pound. This combination has a great great spicy sweet and salty flavor. Much better, you can use it on a whole lot of food with what I think of as 2/3 better flavor than the potassium based substitute and it's cheaper.
And this also makes a good sugar substitute for example think of the oatmeal package you see in the store, this has both a lot of salt and sugar. But if you make your own oatmeal (I just use mine without cooking it and just add water, quick oats are best because I don't want too much fiber) and if you add this sweet salt and spicy blend using the sugar substitute with a low salt seasoned herb blend this makes a good staple you can eat each day for good health but it tastes almost as good as the the hyped up oatmeal package that can give you a heart attack and blood sugar problems both by salt and sugar they otherwise blend in.
.
When you look at the top sites recommending salt substitutes a lot of it is just a list of ads for the top selling potassium based salt substitutes.
Even so I think the sites that recommend that we use herbs have the right idea with the wrong herbs and not with the sweetener or the spices or a small bit of salt with much better flavor!
If I just tried herbs by luck I assume I would never have found how to do this by those herb sites that list worthless salt substitute herbs. The engineers in the food processing business labor night and day trying to outsell the rest by finding better flavor values than anyone else to sell. Unlike the herb salt substitute sites the ones sold as food by the vendors have been tried out more often as food to be safe and may be safer than salt substitutes listed on sites with lists of herbs because I have a feeling they've never tried or they would still be trying to find this page!
This is not a guaranteed method of reducing all your salt, even so you might reduce it by 90% without much trouble doing this. Potassium based salt substitutes only reduce salt by about 2/3. This is also twice as cheap.
How to get control of your food and eat right while saving cost
As I'll show you on the link below you can save about $60 a week by preparing your own food in the pressure cooker and eating more vegetables. Just toss the potatoes or the beans in the water and it needs no preparation with the timer.
The trick here like for restaurant food is to have calories from something like potatoes or beans plus the flavor by the seasoned salt and sweetener method you can add with the vegetables in which the rest of the food drowns out the flavor of so you can actually eat healthy without feeling woe. Just eating beans once a week reduces the risk of Heart Attack by 27%. You might think vegetables are bad but remember what else is there? Animal based and sugar foods will hurt you, and vegetables are essentially a fortress for self-defense in this food fight.
Of course it's not either or vegetables or other food because e.g. you can do this just sometimes for the best value.
You want both calories and flavor these are essential to eating vegetables because you want a dish you can stay with in enough comfort so you can eat right. I just couldn't eat veggies without both..you need to be satisfied by calories and you need flavor which according to this Time Magazine is good for your brain health..
You may be thrilled with all the types of salt low salt herb blends because there are a mucho of flavorosos you can try that work well with this method! Just remember to only use a small amount of the salt blend it has enough flavor and is is good defense with a sweetener..
As I say Lohan sweetener is favored by doctors and it has lot better flavor than older sweeteners like saccharin.
I use Badia brand salt spices like this..my favorite is Sazon Tropical or tropical seasoning. Badia is a major Latin American producer of discount herbs and spices.
Click Here for the Amazon page if you like. This has a 4.9 star rating on Amazon. As you see on the label it has only about 3% of the DV of salt.
You may also want to try the Badia Ranch flavor lower salt blend. It has milk and buttermilk powder but its salt is as low as the tropical seasoning and it has a great flavor like salt. Perhaps because the tropical seasoning is more famous this has a price more comparable to potassium based salt substitute instead.
Another great find I found was Badia Jamaican Curry considered to be already quite good for your heart, and this has even lower salt although not quite as good a flavor. It's got a 4.7 star rating and only 1% of the DV for salt. This doesn't keep fresh quite as long as the others but it has value for general use.
If you might not have reach of these awesome flavors, you might like to try some business science research with the sweetener and other low salt blends like this, smoked paprika is great if you combine it with low salt in the jug.
These are also the spicy and salty flavors but you can also combine these in with Oriental Five Spice which has cinnamon and other sweeter spicy herbs. You don't want to overdo it with this option because cinnamon has been found to cause cancer.. perhaps like a lot of food low doses would be safe. In toxicology they say "the dose makes the poison" meaning if you bring it down to a low enough dose it's safe.
I found I could get much better control of my food and salt and sugar levels by buying food like potatoes and beans and just tossing them in the pressure cooker with the timer. This also works well if you add in vegetables for nutrition often you can't even taste because it blends them together, so this makes vegetables REAL!
Not only does it save about $10 a day off the potato chip rate of exchange!... or about $300 a month, you also find better health..
This is a great way to get control of how much salt or sugar is in your food without the flavor crystals! Click here or you can see the same link further you like..
What Might This Replace.. "what I went through in my 35-year search to find this method"
Seaweed based salt substitutes may sound good but the ones I looked at had heavy metal problems.
I would see the commercial for the No Salt saltaholic is on the assembly line trying to shake the salt habit and shaking all around!
This will usually lead to a potassium-based salt substitute and not worth much for most and this is a dollar an ounce.
Seaweed-based salt substitutes are even higher in price..
I would see these sites recommending herbal substitutes and for flavor which is what you mostly would buy them for, and for me they were all just worthless. Herb after herb on a long list and they don't list one that has good flavor, and many of them are unsafe..
...turmeric has been outlawed in Europe, Rosemary and Thyme have no flavor if you ask me, and they can be addictive and have problems like alcohol because they contain thuja. Apple cider vinegar can cause liver and kidney damage, and like lemon juice it can damage your teeth because it's so acidic, and so on.
For example I think garlic has horrible flavor (unless you combine it with something like milk powder or yogurt but this is hardly a salt substitute) and the same for oregano;
Mrs Dash and Italian spice blends have really bitter flavor in a few days although of course you could use them still for their herbal value in cooking but I thought of them as having zero value as a salt substitute..
Even herbal blends like Simply Asia umami contain shiitake mushrooms and this can cause nerve problems.
I found the Simply Asia to have a real good flavor (as much as I was aware!) so you might want to try umami blends without shiitake for more value.. you can go from super boring flavors like on the herbal salt substitute sites to many different types of great safer flavor by this method!
This also helps to cut down on sugar which is a major part of the problem about cardio..80% of seniors will have blood sugar issues which may lead to 90% having cardio..
A great treat is to eat something like blueberries which are actually good for blood sugar and combine it with some of the low han sweetener, or watermelon.. I eat watermelon on the half shell, and frozen blueberries which I think taste a lot better than the more dried out ones you buy in the produce section fof the petrified forest!.. and I also like frozen cherries because they don't have pits and blueberries and cherries are both good for brain health..
Absorption of Fat, Salt and Sugar, etc.
You may be familiar with fenugreek it's the herb that gives butterscotch candy its special flavor.
While fenugreek is advised with caution with those with blood sugar especially those who are taking blood sugar lowering herbs it also definitely limits the blood sugar spike after meals..
Fenugreek is considered to be both good for cardio and blood sugar as on this Medicinenet health page.
Both Fenugreek and coffee limit absorption of food, I read "by the light of my coffee cup by up" to 87%. I tend to take these herbs together to limit absorption of foods on some days when I would otherwise "win weight!"
According to AI
"Coffee can significantly limit the absorption of certain nutrients, particularly iron, with studies showing reductions in absorption by 39% to 90% depending on the type of meal and timing of coffee consumption. "
The strategy of fenugreek with coffee might help to keep from absorbing fat or other harmful substances like salt or sugar when you want a treat because flavor is good for your brain not just your physical health especially if the pleasure doesn't harm it, self defense about celebration is often a pleasure!
In addition according to this Nature article, coffee acts like a good pro or prebiotic, increasing good bacteria in the GI. This has been seen to be help blood sugar and general health.
Experts say that it's important to consult with a doctor before starting probiotic supplements especially if you have any health concerns.
