A. Don't really deal with these issues myself, but I found a website with tips, recipes, list of stores etc. about salt-free food (http://www.lowsodiumcooking.com/free/Sources.htm(.

Also, in Amazon there're several options also (http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&rh=n%3A3601141%2Cp_n_feature_browse-bin%3A114310011&page=1).

Q. How can salt bring heart attack? My dad had a stroke last month. This was his first stroke and it made me frightened. My mother was always very serious for his salt intake due to his high blood pressure. She blames excess salt intake for my dad’s stroke and heart attack. I want to know why salt is considered bad for health. How can salt bring heart attack?

A. It is the first and foremost advice being provided to patients with heart ailment and hypertension to reduce on salt intake. It is found that salt intake increases the retention of fluid in blood vessels which increases the blood volume. With this increased volume of the blood the heart takes much effort to pump the blood to the body, which increases the blood pressure. This can damage the heart which can lead to heart attack. Less or adequate salt intake lowers the risk of high blood pressure.
