This is the Conversation Forum for Talking Point: Getting in Shape for Summer << It never fails to sneak up on you... Don't wait 'til the summer... >> Subject: Salt Posted Jul 1, 2003 by Kaz   Posting 1 Eating salt can cause water retention, ie to put on weight. If you cut down on salt, you will reduce weight and reduce hypertension if you have it. Most people are hypertensive, it causes heart attacks and strokes. So it is one of the biggest killers, yet it is never named on the death certificate. So you get to lose weight and reduce your chances of death! Must be good! Also cut down or cut out refined sugar, unrefined is okay. Do some exercise! Conversation list Most of the content on h2g2 is created by h2g2's Researchers, who are members of the public.
