We don't have salt in the house usually, as we don't really like it, and I thought there was enough salt in stuff like bread, crisps, pasta sauces etc.
But I saw a specialist today (I have been diagnosed with CFS) who confirmed I have something called orthostatic intolerance, where I get dizzy on standing due to rocketing pulse and low blood pressure.
Apparently adding a bit more salt (as well as drinking more water, which is easy) helps a lot of his patients with this symptom.
But I actually don't really know how to use salt. I don't really like it if meals taste too salty (say if we have bacon, we usually rinse it first!) so I'm not really sure how to increase my intake, other than eating more crisps!
Any ideas please?!
