Q. What are good items to replace salt with for cooking? My Dad has highblood pressure and we'd like to start using products that have no salt/sodium to add to cooking for adding taste. Like Mrs. Dash

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. Two weeks ago I fell and my back is still aching. What do you recommend I do? I'm 85 years old and have a history of 5 back operations. I fell a few times in the past couple of years, but I usually manage to live on my own and well. Recently I fell and hurt my left leg which is the one that I had a hip operation and of course problems and pain. I have resting and using my walking stick to balance myself better and I try to rest as much as possible. I know that time is the best healer, but i would love to see a video or read about my situation in order to improve my situation and learn new facts or tips. thanks you.

A. from your description i would say you are probably osteoporotic no? my mother is in the same situation.. she broke her arm (shattered would be more exact)and it took forever to heal. she had a lot of time on her hand so i looked for web pages about osteoporosis for her to read about, here is what i found:
http://www.nof.org/

http://www.rheumatology.org/public/factsheets/osteopor_new.asp

and here is a site with many short videos, one of the about back pain in osteoporosis!:

take care!!
