Dear Diary: The Reason I Don't Prefer Salty Foods

One Chip is OK, Two is too much, Three chips is unbearable for me to eat

I just disliked eating salty foods but only in particular. Generally I would not prefer eating salty foods and in fact i do not use dips such as fish sauce dips or soysauce unlike my father who couldn't put food in his mouth without dipping it first into the fiah sauce and it is the main reason that he has a high blood pressure.

Years ago when I was showing signs of my kidney disease my mother had put me into her strictly no salt and with tons of water to drink diet. She scolds me when I would eat or put fish sauce into my food. My food got so bland that it really is unpalatable plus I had to drink really lots of water and it made an imbalance in my system that my fingers began to crack.

My strict no salt diet went on for years from my late high school and until I do not know for how long. It is funny that when I get to abruptly stopped going to college to go for a vacation into my grandmother's house, my aunt would cook separate foods for me and I lived there for about four months!

Then when I realized that I just do not have to eat salty foods instead of a normal mixture of seasonings for my meals I begun to eat normal foods again. But by that time I do not have the taste for junk foods anymore. I tried to eat some but it is just unbearable for me now.

But I do eat dried fish but with rice as a viand but you cannot see me adding seasoning into my food, just the normal seasoning is right for me unless the dish is really bland-tasting. But right now as I have learned that salty foods makes me thirsty and raise my blood pressure, I would just try to avoid it especially the junk foods, they are really bad for me.

A health wanting person should not prefer it.

You should also stop your father From eating high salted food,
it is not good for health.

It is a good thing that you do not eat junk and salty foods, I too generally try to avoid junk foods most of the time. But once in a while I end up at KFC and McDonalds-haha. I am also switching from normal salt to sea salt which I heard is better for us.

yeah, eat what suitable for you in this condition,
don't go for food that are not good for your health.

Now think about some foods that contain a lot of salt but don’t taste “salty:”
plz tell your dad a good take care of his son...
stay safe & god bless you dear..

Errrrr..... I can't imagine not eating salt as I love spicy food. Wouldn't the food taste bland and unpalatable, like you pointed out?

However did you cope eating that type of meal for years?

Imagine peeing everytime and I am at most times unwell during those years considering that I already have a serious kidney condition.

It is good for one to know what ones health request for and what is good for ones health. By knowing all these, one will stay strong and healthy most especially during the hard time of life. Like me, i dont eat yam or food gets from yam.

ops just three chips and its not good for you. Yeah!sauces is also rich of sodium and it is not good for your health. May Go make you healthy amen

Your every post is brilliant I like your this work love you my dear

I prefer salty foods than sweets. Glad I never had kidney problems. Maybe because I drink more water too. I love coconut water too. I love sour soup with sweet potato tops. I also eat more fruits. So... my kidney is just fine even I eat junk foods, it's not only salty that I eat. :)
