[quote=Anonymous]PP, I had cut WAY back on sodium. I would often use canned soups, or boxed side dishes (awful I know) and completely stopped using either. Instead we have simple brown rice, or homemade soup. Beyond that, I guess the only thing left would be an occasional snack of crackers or something. We do not eat out often at all, and I do not add salt to my food. Beverage wise, I am down to almost 100% water, with occasional OJ in the morning. The one additional piece that will help with both the BP and the water retention is increasing my exercise. So, this week, Spring Break I will kick start that. I plan get in at least 1 run (2-3 miles), an early AM spin class, and have started putting on running gear and taking the kids out on their bikes/scooters. My youngest is 4 now, so they can go at a good clip. Last time I did that, we made it almost 2 miles through the neighborhood according to my GPS. I feel the only place I can do better is exercise.[/quote]
