Thought I'd post this here, since it seems to be the most health focused of the 15 food threads.

Makes sense, since K+ and Na+ keep each other in check in your body - more of one will decrease the other. Obviously, you want less sodium. So for those of you who are overweight and/or have high blood pressure, this is very important.
BTW - they've changed the guidelines for blood pressure. 120/80 or lower is normal (well, obviously something really low isn't normal, but you get my drift.) If you're between 122/82 and 138/88 you're no longer the high end of normal - you're prehypertensive (in other words, you're on the brink of high blood pressure.) Anything higher than 140/90 is officially hypertension.
There are some really good recipes in the article too. I can hardly wait to try the maple bourbon salmon & spicy squash stew.
